What is this demonstrating? I find it difficult to see how a 3x3 region can have a radial profile that's valid past 2 pixels when there's something nearby. This diagram looks like you have a 21x21px region with two point sources, and you are...

If so, they'd have been in the Starlink flare band for the entire flight.... with flares being visible off the Port wing... https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=15857/Kacey Musgrave Starlink Flares/20260410_182115.js

Very interesting results. Seems like something that needs a response. If the original MNRAS 2022 is basically noise, then that has significant implications for the downstream papers that use that set as a starting point. I think it might...

I used Claude Code quite a bit here. Using my new MCP bridge it was able to control Sitrec, but it also just went ahead and wrote code using satellite.js to do its own propagation. But the thing that found the TLE was Grok.

The assistant is extremely useful. You can say things like "set the location to London and change the time zone to UTC and set the time to last night at 10 PM" and all the manual setup... done!

I published this just now. Photographic Plate Forensics: a practical community library https://github.com/jannefi/vasco60/blob/main/docs/PLATE_FORENSICS_LIBRARY.md I've been reading a lot lately, mainly older documents and publications about...

In Sitrec, there's an AI assistant you can bring up with the Tab key. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?action=new

Bledsoe is now publishing AI "enhanced" version of his bokeh. It still appears to be the same thing. This is up close detail from my big camera recording in Raw data of an orb taken at my home in NC. Thanks to my friend Peter Osborne Truth in...

Actually, that message means you are not logged into Metabunk on that browser window. Possibly, you were in an incognito/private window. Or had just logged out of Metabunk.

Probably. You can always try changing the agent in settings.

Try again, and then in the Help menu, click on "Export Debug Log", and then attach that here, or send it to me in a DM.

I've interviewed him on my podcast and I had a nice chat over beers with him at AlienCon in Pasadena. Nice chap, even though we disagree about a lot, he was great to talk to.

I don't think it's streetlights. It's uplights - i.e lights shining up buildings. So you'd only see the lights of the sides of the building that are facing you. This puts the location of the viewer, if this overlay is correct (which it seems to...

Double checking to assure myself that I've got the right buildings and the right direction. Still sure I've got the right buildings. This is the other side of A, for example...
