Very cool. I have not looked for it. Is it moving too quickly, like Skylab used too, to use a tripod?

I'm guessing it moves about the same speed as Skylab. The altitudes are similar, and gravity is about the same. I did use a tripod the first time, but my tripod is not friendly with pointing straight up, and this time, the altitude was 81 degrees, so I didn't even try.
