So if we found something of interest, how do I share the coordinates?

You want terrorists to see what's going on real life?

I want world peace!

So if we found something of interest, how do I share the coordinates?

you can manually type out the coordinates you see in the navigation bar but you'll have to change some settings.

click on menu Tools -> Options and change to the following settings.

next, click on Fly To and look at the navigation bar and type out in the textbox, the coordinates 1.289835, 103.855279

This is much easier than to type out 37°14'37.77"N, 115° 46'53.83"W (not the same location, taken from post #6)

That's right, pictures of Singapore is much better compare to few weeks ago.
Try Perth or HK. Pictures are much clearer....

Hi Drudkh,
I believe it's an island called Pulau Satumu. May not be the best place for star trails, as the Raffles Lighthouse is there. In any case, it's a no landing zone...
"Here be dragons"??!

submarines..
