When all 60 gridded viewing angles for 670nm are overlaid, the resulting animation shows how AirHARP images the same scene on the ground from all of these unique viewing perspectives.

The very first and last images correspond to viewing angles at +57 forward and -57 degrees backward, which amounts to a total field of view of 114 degrees along-track. Cross-track, the FOV is 94 degrees, which corresponds to a 40km swath at ER-2 altitude.

Specular reflections at the angle of sunglint appear toward the end of the animation, looking like a quick pulse along the scene's rivers and buildings toward the base of the scene.
