Last August, I initiated a discussion regarding policy options for reporting high resolution ground-based imagery of Earth satellites to SeeSat-L: http://satobs.org/seesat/Aug-2010/0134.html Of the few subscribers who responded, a small majority favoured Option 2, with varying degrees of support for the requirement that raw frames be made available. Ralf Vandebergh - the only hi-res imager who responded - was among those who argued for more or less the status quo. The ongoing disagreement between Thierry Legault and Ralf Vandebergh reinforces my belief that a fairly rigorous reporting standard would be beneficial. In the above-linked message, I made some suggestions for reporting which I would like to see as the starting point of discussion, involving all who are interested in advancing the state of the art. I would especially like for the hi-res imagers to work together to develop a reporting standard, whether they discuss it here, or elsewhere. Perhaps they could jointly seek guidance from one or more of the professionals in the field.
