10 years later, I have actually found a repost of the Huang video, it's cropped to an awkward aspect ratio and has a silly German title, but here it is:

It's a little fiddly lining it up, as I don't have an exact ECEF fix on Artemis. I was using the Artemis...

It only took like 10 minutes maybe to find this location. If anyone is interested, this was my method:
Zoomed into the town of Silverton
After panning around for a few seconds I realized there is only one paved road in that area (this was the...
