https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/Lunar%20Eclipse%20From%20Sacramento/20260827_224913.js The eclipse sim is just on by default, but there are also some tweaks under Lighting/"Lunar Eclipse" Mostly for fun and eclipse viewing...

Matching the time I get: https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/DAntonio all_sky streak/20260827_165454.js Not a match for either plane, but I think it certainly shows that the motion in the video is not unlike a plane. I'd like to get...

I added a Fisheye view. Camera/FOV/Fisheye https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/DAntonio%20all_sky%20streak/20260827_121840.js

Done. Camera/FOV/Fisheye https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/DAntonio%20all_sky%20streak/20260827_121840.js I was already working on it. I'd been meaning to do it for a while, but this was the case that actually seemed to need it. I...

Thanks, everyone, for keeping the discussion largely polite and professional in recent posts. I know it's tempting to wander off into a discussion of motives or more aggressive criticism in a long thread like this. At times, the thread has...

Shipped. To get a year earlier than 1947, just type it in. Accurate (theoretically) back to 1700 V0.15 and later can use the NASA/JPL DE430/431 solutions with planetary positions for years -13,000 to +17,000. So not quite that good. But...

Sitrec is essentially the same as Stellarium, except for stellar proper motion (stars moving within the galaxy, which has no real visual impact. I'll make it so you can pick an earlier date in the next shipped version (in an hour or so)

If a rainbow was involved, could it have been a Brocken spectre? Last time I flew in an airplane, I was lucky enough to see a Brocken Spectre directly under the 'plane, caused by misty particles surrounding the shadow of the aircraft. . A...

The geometry works out, but I'm not really sure if the reflection is viable as a clear-enough disc. I think it would require an unusually calm ocean. More work needed!

This came up again recently with Lenval Logan describing it and saying that analysts told him it was the "shadow of the moon". Obviously, that does not refer to the actual shadow of the moon (which would mean you are in a solar eclipse and is...

I think, based on most drone videos I've seen online, private individuals fly "beyond visual line of sight" all the time. This is just regulation catching up with reality - and letting commercial operators do what there's really no reason they...
