New source of Satellite images

Unread post by GraemeWi »

Just go to the Images - Full index and search for NZ.

This guy has his own high-resolution receiving setup and looks to be a good alternate.

[edit - damn - put the link to wrong page... as per Brian's post below]

Cheers,

Hi there,

I am the owner/operator of the ozabove.com website, thought I'd drop in and say hi. After all, we often get beautiful NZ passes although the satellites are just a bit over 10 degrees over the horizon when they pass between the north and south islands.

Hopefully, this site will not be just a backup source. If you know when the satellites are passing (you can see in the satellite passlist section, or if you have your own satellite tracking software), you won't have to wait for an artificial delay period, the images are online no later than 5 minutes after the satellite pass is over.

If you'd like to link from your website to ozabove, please feel free to do so! For this purpose I have a thumbnail which always shows the latest image, either in visible or IR depending on daytime. Please make sure you link to the main page only (i.e. just to http://www.ozabove.com ). The thumbnail is located here: http://www.ozabove.com/latest-tn.jpg

Cheers
