Satellite imagery (-28.67861, 137.43337)

I discovered that google's satellite imagery was the lowest quality and gave the worst looking image from a lot of different sources. I also discovered that the other websites seem to use mostly the same images, although SA viewer has more imagery the closer you get and gives the closet zoom that still provides usable references. However SA viewer is buggy and using the coordinates crashes the website. As I had been starting at the site for a very long time now, I zoomed in to where the site is at a very close scale then took the imagery into rhino then instead of moving the photo to the center

I took two screen shot of each size I wanted; First with the coordinates pinned then I removed them without panning or zooming the map so the view was the exact same.

this worked well for me because the pins in the maps were very big.
