The things under Sitrec/Settings are saved: I can easily add default startup values here (which you can then temporarily override). I'll do the above, disable the grid, and you can give me a list of other ones that would be useful.

No, it's somewhat messed up, for historical reasons. I'll get around to it.

Yeah, that's a bit confusing right now. The code is still somewhat drive by VFOV, so adjusting HFOV is really just setting VFOV based on the aspect ratio, which currently isn't editable. It used to be driven by the look view window size, but...

Done! It's a little fiddly, so let me know if there's any problems.

I see you've made both vFov and hFov, that's great. But it would be really nice to have a 35 mm equivalent focal length too. I know it can be a bit tricky if the photo/video is not 3:2, but since Sitrec already calculates the HFOV from the...

I'm quite pleased with how well it works even for satellite images https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/UK%20Satellite%20Photo%20Point%20Fit/20260816_005111.js

there's a few different theories on this. Some have said it's due to the temperature of the object matching the temperature of the ocean behind it, and therefore it blends in with the background giving the appearance of going into the water. I...

Theoretically. But that assumes you've got the timing right, and that the ADS-B is very accurate. Did you have a sitch in mind? I feel like it would not be very accurate. But if the plane is very far away, then maybe. Similar with using...

These are kind of fun. Good testbeds for the point-fitting UI. I always fix a bunch of things when I have actual cases to apply the new code to. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/Seven Dials, Bingley/20260815_202533.js

Some aerial photography of my old home town https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/Bingley Photo Fit/20260814_212845.js And zoomed in a bit on the same image.

Yes, you can lock the FOV. That could help quite a bit.

That's the overriding principle here. There's no compelling reason to release unredacted UFO videos that just show blurry blobs - much as I would prefer them to. Some of those videos probably even have per-frame metadata, which is really what...

I think you're okay! I somehow got the wrong lat/lon https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/Majorca%20match%20CP/20260814_004001.js

Here's another one https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/Mallorca%2C%20eclipse%20from%20bridge/20260814_001906.js Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eclipse_total_solar_en_Palma_de_Mallorca_2026.jpg
