Yes, the photograph lines up exactly including the fences alongside the “Yellow Brick Road”.  It also means the launch is an easterly toss to take advantage of the Earth’s rotation, which makes more sense.  I made the fatal mistake of attempting to map read from ground to map.  Still, I was only a hemisphere out.  The only part remaining to be identified is the white dot on the eastern tip of the high ground on Portland Is.  Could that be a star or planet?  The existing lighthouse on the island is supposed to be a tiny affair near the southern tip.  Alternately, have your compatriots built a radar tracking station not yet shown on existing satellite photographs?  DaveP
