Check out this web site demo of a natural phenomenon. It is fascinating. I guess this is why the US Navy lookout training handbook teaches observers to scan using 5 degree eye location shifts every 5 seconds. A good thing to remember when we are scanning for VFR traffic. SOB http://www.msf-usa.org/motion.html --------------------------------------------------------------- Interesting, but doesn't seem to be much of a problem for me. I spent about 5 minutes fooling with it, but I didn't see more then an occasional drop out on the bottom dot, then only for an instant. I never saw any drop outs with 2 top dots until I doubled the speed and reduced the dot size to about 1/16", then only the right dot, I never lost the left one. Maybe that's why when we were flying traffic watch over dntn Charlotte I could spot other acft way sooner then the pilots. Wayne D. Charlotte, NC aka:oldmoparguy ----- No virus found in this message.
