What is that belt-like thing? The antenna?

@DL4PD Presumably this is a string which held the antenna folded before the deploy. It’s cool that we captured it:)

Thanks @geoscan for providing the hints on where this image was taken. Finding it blindly on a world map is very challenging!

@tammojan Great projection of the photo onto the map. Did you do it manually or did you use some software ?

I use the georeferencer of QGIS. It requires you to click reference points on both the photo and a map, so it’s still a manual process. The program takes care of the projection, and it saves the output as a GeoTiff, i.e. reprojected image with coordinate information.

Thank you. I was looking for something like this.

I will try to capture Greece from Geoscan-Edelveis in an hour. Although orientation control is now turned off, there is still a chance.
Transmissions scheduled for 9:20, 9:22, 9:24.

We got Sun over Greece :slight_smile:
