What camera/lens are they using for video of the Space Shuttle as it's ascending?
-
I've wondered for a long time what kind of zoom lens they are using for video shots of the space shuttle as it begins it's journey into space. It must be extremely powerful as they continue to get fairly tight shots even minutes after launch and miles into the air. Thanks for any insight!

Answer:
It looks like a 14" SCT telescope with a video camera attached on a motorized computer controlled mount. Not the sort you get from your camera shop, more like an astronomical telescope.
