<TITLE>Static image skewed when using Layer.Image</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I have a static image of the UK in mercator projection [1] and would like to overlay points onto it using OpenLayers.Layer.Image().<BR>
<BR>
I've used the Image Layer example [2] as a starting point but the static image looks skewed when displayed [3] -- it's proportions seem wrong when compared to the source image.<BR>
<BR>
When I overlay the points from a GeoRSS feed they broadly appear in the correct place [4] although some are out at sea.<BR>
<BR>
I've checked the bounds of the map are correct and the size matches the size of the image. The example mentions the "resolution" being calculated based on the extent/size but I don't know enough about how this works to change it.<BR>
<BR>
Can anyone explain, or please point me in the direction of some resources so I can learn more about how to make it display correctly?<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks,<BR>
Andrew<BR>
