    Another great catch Ed.
    
    Interesting to see your comments about how hard it is to determine the exact 
    path.I often find this , especially when the situation is complicated by 
    having to locate miles away from  home "base" ....which is the reason I 
    rarely risk a small FOV.
    On many occasions I have found that despite spending two or three hours 
    pinpointing the exact spot on the map .... by the time I get to the location 
    , the track has shifted just enough to make a 6 arc minute FOV useless.
    
    I guess thats why  Phil Chien termed this an extreme sport  !!
    
    Well done,
    
    John
