    Re: Rocket launch and navigation stars

    The terrain looks like the Shetlands Is. Scotland.  The white golf ball bottom centre in line with ‘the Yellow Brick Road, could be the Remote Radar Head at RAF Saxa Vord, Is of Unst. The star rotation suggests looking north.   The assumed position of Polaris doesn’t quite fit a latitude of 60N, and it’s difficult to fit the Yellow Brick Road into the line-up precisely.  However, we know from Frank’s other photo quizzes that special lenses play special ticks.  Launches appear to have been made or planned from other remote spots in North Shetland, but this one appears to be from the Saxa Vord Space Port.  Unfortunately, as far as I’ve been able to ascertain they’ve not launched anything this big yet.  Therefore, the possibility of a mix of photographs for publicity can’t be ruled out.  Then again, I could be out by a couple of oceans.  DaveP
