I just gave myself a birthday present of a Casio Exilim EX-H20G camera with built-in GPS that writes to the EXIF file, and it plays well with IrfanView. Be aware that for camera's without GPS (most DSLR's), the time in the EXIF might be off if the camera clock has not been synchronized. Camera clocks have a large drift. Also, the ROSAT shot in question is a stack of multiple images, and the EXIF will refer to only one of those. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: @Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
