[mythtvnz] Satellite position photo

[Dean Pemberton]

Hi All;

Thinking about satellite stuff, as you do, I remembered that I had the 
following photo lying around from plotting GPS sat tracks from my ntp 
server at home.

It's a 360deg azimuth pano with about a 100deg elevation range.

I wondered what it would look like if I plotted the locations of the 
available satellites on it.
Some playing around with a calculator, Lyngsat and Photoshop yielded the 
following picture...

Might be useful to help people visualise where things are in the sky.  
The light red box shows the 40 degree spread of a T90 Toroidal with a 10 
deg skew, centered on Optus D1.
