A real planet

This view of Mars hasn't been made with Terragen, but 2 hours ago, with my 114mm diameter telescope...

Wow, excellent detail. I envy your scope! I actually have a decent little Celestron, I just need to get a better lens for it (and a camera mount). Hmm...

Cool Galileo! ;-) Light pollution makes it impossible here to view the stars, you can't even see the milky way band ... sigh

[Will]

I live next to a college so the light pollutions pretty bad but if theres a storm and power gets knocked out its spectacular.

Excellent images.

This morning, I woke up at 6 am to take another planet:


Now bad weather is back...plenty of time tonight for Terragen!

Cool!!!

nice, not to be rude but how roughly how much did this set up cost you. I ask because I'm thinking about getting a new telescope.

[Sethren]

There was a story in the news paper a few years back. Los Angelis had a major power outage and some people were freaking out and or confused upon seeing a band across the sky, i kid you not. Gee, i wonder what it could be? Aliens crop dusting the earth again?   

It must have been a good day because usually the smog layer cancels out the majority of stars and all interstellar gases and dust.

[rcallicotte]

Sethren - The band was the pollution?  Geez.  I remember being there many years ago visiting and my lungs hurt within a day.

[Sethren]

The Milky Way.     

[rcallicotte]

   Coooool.  I wish I could have seen it.  I would have been willing to choke for that.

Yea you can see it well form where I live if you let your eyes adjust a bit and squint.
