    Hi Yk,
    
    my guess is that commercial satellites that also take "wide" angle shots are
    most likely, and that these are taken vertically.
    But I don't know the angle.
    
    OTOH, I got a message that Swedish students were doing this Friday
    8/ 5/23 12:24:36  0:14:04  Autotrack 292 76 25994 TERRA
    8/ 5/23 11:56:46  0:14:04  Autotrack 291 76 25682 LANDSAT 7
    (local times = UTC+2)
