What do you do with this information?
At this stage you don't know whether it's friend or foe - all you know is there's an aircraft.

(the direction of the plane doesn't help too much, I often penetrate hostile airspace just to stab them in the back on their way to the front )
Perfect answer really....

I would also add for all, that we can't track the size of pixel for the different physical size of monitors with the same resolution in pixels.
For example I have two monitors with the same pixel resolution at home... both full HD, however one is 13 inches of high end ligth weight carbon noterbook, but another is 24 inches standard monitor... Cheat? Definitely cheat speaking about size of the dot in this case !
