Need an SG1 screencap

Hi, I don't know if this is the right forum for it, but I need a screencap from the episode 'Between two fires'. Specifically, I need a clear picture of the map Carter shows for how they would need to distribute the Tollan ion cannons for total global coverage of earth. Its for a fic I'm working on.

How the hell does a cannon have a square range radius?

I'ts not don't foget the map is a flat representation of a 3d object. If you were to curve the ma into the shape of the earth then the coverage is no longer a square but a half sphere.

Wouldn't the 'square' be vertically deformed? The mercator projection makes things near the equator seem smaller, doesn't it?

Hum I think your'e right the square should be off a bit, but its been a awile since I studied a mercator projection.
