Looks like the winner was around J22.

I always miss these things, and I was just thinking I should maybe pull the plug on the site. NVM, I guess it stays up as long as Chris doesn't mind it loading the page every 5 min.

The scraper is doing a great job! No need to kill it!

Barring a tragic maritime accident on the way home looks like we will have a winner and OCISLY's recent bad luck will be over!

So I guess it's too late to guess X-93

So, do we know where the F9 landed? I still don't know if it is near one side or the opposite...

So, after a few days of waiting for any high angle or aerial shots to come in of B1051.4's return from the Starlink L6 mission which make Landing Bingo easy to judge, those were not to be.

This lack of elevated perspective, coupled with no released downward looking views from the on board rocketcam to align with the deck markings, meant triangulation with known ASDS features was going to be the method required to determine booster landing position.

Fortunately enough talented photographers were there to greet the returning fleet, including some of NSF's own, to capture a direct keel line view from the front of OCILSLY to gauge X axis, a shot lining up the antenna masts on opposite corners of the droneship for a diagonal cross deck line; and a direct side on shot with the ship's center mass mark for Y axis.

A video capture showing the booster immediately after landing aboard, showed one leg touching the inner yellow circle and provided rotation relative to the camera by comparing the angles of the telescoping leg struts in relation to each other.

Combining these disparate cues allowed determination of positional and rotational orientation of B1051.4 to a high degree of accuracy. So without further ado, J-22 is the winning spot chosen by TorenAltair !
