[CornMan]

The really zoom-able ones will be coming in soon enough. I found this one by doing a Google search.

Found me! Thx!

[Fiver]

Working on the higher rez version, but it's over a gig in size! Due to clouds there were pics on the 30th and 31st of Aug. Here's a teaser, but I have to go to work. (this pic is from the 31st)
I'll be doing the super duper high res moop maps again this year off these.

[MacGlenver]

Nice! Thx. Looking forward to the super high-res version. PS, when you do the moop map, just remember -- 7:15 & F is pristine! I'll save you the work and you can just slather it with green

Pic from Aug 30th.

I'm sure Trilo will come around to combine the two threads.

so, any ideas about the arrangement of containers in the lower right, a bit to the east of gate and west of dpw? .... spells "INSANE" .... at the end of 5:30 road

HA thats awesome! good eye! perhaps Insane, a DPW driver had something to do with that?

[illy dilly]

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MikeGyver]

I can see my tent!

[halffast]

Hrm.

The GeoEye sat photo was supposed to be at Aug 31st. That's dated the 30th and has all the CORE effigies.

So hopefully more to come?

GeoEye's pic is here. It's my understanding that they'll be posting a half meter resolution shot in the near future.

Hmmm... This feels like the near future. Any news on the uber photo? Couldnt find anything better on Google than the 2 posted on Eplaya.

Home sweet home - I'm lovin' it

Thanks for the pic post!

Sorry, the Gate is not in that picture. What you see is the Greeter's station(s).

Is that not an apt description of burners in general??

I spoke to some folks at GeoEye this week, and that shot is unfortunately as high-resolution as we get this year. The 2012 pass was done with the venerable IKONOS satellite, which doesn't have as good a camera on board as the one from last year.

Dammit Bill, next year I want daily satellite passes for a 2 week window starting the Wednesday before the event opens!

Yes, your Overlordship ... Would you like fries with that??

"The satellite photo of my vacation isn't as high of a resolution as I'd like." certainly seems to be a future problem.

we live in amazing times

Bummer about no higher res images coming. Next up: the Moop Map. Fingers crossed for green.

[Bob]

How could there be any moop? I hear a deejay stopped his muzak for two minutes and asked everyone to pick things up.

[maladroit]

Unfortunately, the next DJ up instructed them to "drop it like it's hot."

While we're at it, where's my jet pack?

Is the one from the 30th in this & the other thread really as hi-res as it gets this year or is there talk of a better one (thats over a gig) as mentioned by fiver earlier?

Wondering the same. The hi-res pic from the other thread looks like its not happening, but Fiver did mention he had a 1 gig copy. Maybe set up a bittorrent for it or something?

[trilobyte]

I'm giving this thread a merge with the other. According to the awesome people at GeoEye, there is no higher resolution image available than the one they published. That's because this year's pass took place using the older IKONOS satellite, which doesn't have a higher resolution camera.
