Cool! What a mess of stuff up there!!   Mainer --- On Mon, 2/1/10, Duke <stereospace(-at-)gmail.com> wrote: From: Duke <stereospace(-at-)gmail.com> Subject: [Anaglyphs] Satellite tracker - 2 To: "anaglyphs Yahoo" <anaglyphs(-at-)yahoogroups.com> Date: Monday, February 1, 2010, 2:52 AM A friend in the LAS (astronomy club) made me aware of a neat site that shows the location of many of Earth's artificial satellites in real time.   When you first open the site it shows a 2D graphic, but you can check the 3D box on the right (or press "J" on your keyboard), and it shows a stereo cross-eye view of the location.  You can zoom in so as to make it easy to read the names of the satellites.       I took the above view and made it into an anaglyph.  I captured this view about 1:30 a.m. (6:30 UT) so it shows western Europe still in darkness but daylight has reached most areas east of the Mediterranean Sea.   Link: http://mada.la.coocan.jp/sat/index.htm?lang=en&ll=40,-100&a=10000   Note: the site is slow to render new graphics, be patient.   Duke   -- My general photography on Flickr http://tinyurl.com/mkkn6w My 3D anaglyphs on Flickr http://tinyurl.com/4827bx My 3D cross-view pairs on Flickr http://tinyurl.com/nngujc Click on a thumbnail pic, then Click on "all sizes" icon (for full size)
