Both are off the same software, Nexstorm, one is an image grab and the other
is the Java system that Nexstorm works with.

The Java one is the most used as it shows 1 min real time lightning. I also

What you have to remember is a single antenna system is not spot on when it
comes to position. So you are better looking at several sites and compairing
the data.
