Dont look at 2-3 frames only but expand more and wait for 6 frames sufficient to see a trend one way or another.

A trend must start with the fist few frames... we can actually recognize
a trend starting... and confirm as they gather more frames... Looks like
it's starting a trend to the WNW now...

Thanks Cycloneye. This storm is going to be around for a while and everytime I log on I see more threads about a wobble here or there. It becomes aggravating. People need to have a little patience like cycloneye says and look for the trends.

the problem with this sat is it's not stationary... it's moving forward
hence the direction is more difficult to establish... Much easier to
recognize the direction if we observe from a fixed position...
