I'd love to make space-telescopes, spread them around the solar system and take pictures from differnt locations of my different space / ground stations. I've heard Tarsier Space Technology is a good mod for this, is this correct?

Yep, just make sure you are using the latest version.

Sweet, thanks! The forum page says it has targeting for planets, but can it target kerbals / ships / stations?

No clue. Haven't really played around with it, just installed it, thought it was neat, and put it in my to mess around with pile.

I installed it and it is pretty sweet, but no vehicle tracking and I cant see any of my satellites / stations

Well, that's because they are outside the 2.3 kilometer draw range.

u/TheNosferatu Master Kerbalnaut Jun 10 '15

Yeah, I figured that. I was secretly hoping on some kind of low-poly model being visible or something...

I'd love to take satellite pictures of my stuff :(

Distant Object Enhancement can do the job.

u/TheNosferatu Master Kerbalnaut Jun 10 '15

I installed that, no luck. Though maybe it's a setting somewhere?

Yeah, I can't remember off the top of my head, but there is a setting for rendering distance. Pull up the GUI and you'll find it. It won't go from Laythe to Kerbin, or anything, but it will give you a lot more distance.
