    Yes, here are two images from my database of observations:
    Yaogan 9:  http://db.tt/urDELPHq
    Yaogan 16: http://db.tt/QcNzUC9X
    
    Sofar I've not yet seen Yaogan 17, and when I started observing in
    2012 all NOSS 1 and 2 triads had already broken up, so I can't compare
    them.
    
    Regards,
       Cees
