QO-100 solar outage week.
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2022 10:46 pm
Time to go outside and see if my neighbour's trees are encroaching on the path to the satellite. Typically, the only trees within 50m are in my neighbour's garden to the south. The peak outage for me near Liverpool is 10:52 local on Wednesday.
I use this calculator: https://www.satellite-calculations.com/ ... erence.php
Select Es'Hail-2.
There's no need to fill in the rest of the parameters if all you want are the peak times.
Scroll the map and double-click, or put your address in the box below the map and click "Get location from address".
Refine the position by double-clicking. It only lets you have a few tries.
The location shown in the info box is not always correct, but the lat / long seems to be.
This one is useful for finding the time of local solar noon, which varies from day to day. https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/index.html
