List,
There seem to be posted two quite different images to the list about
the compass direction from where the meteor came on Friday 15,
morning (local).
Obviously one of them must be wrong. Surprising if the weather image
is wrong, how did that come about?
Which one is closest to the direction used by Esko to compute the
orbital elements? And which is the true direction?
Would be important to clarify this.
North is up in both images. Chelyabinsk is in the mid top at the lower one,
and near the middle in the top image.
The top image suggest azimuth 80 degree, while the lower about 120 degree.
Here is a link to the two differing directions stitched together:
