Title: Sky at night
Post by: bib on February 23, 2011, 10:39:36 PM
Hi!

I'm looking for a very high definition picture (if possible 12000x8000) of the sky at night with thousands of stars, ideally with the milky way, and I wonder if anybody knows where I can find that?

I'm pretty sure this can also be simulated in UF, does anybody have an idea of the formula(s) I could use, or ideally some parameters to share?

Thanks for any feedback.

The Hubble Telescope Gallery here: http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/entire/  use as per their terms (found here: http://hubblesite.org/about_us/copyright.php ) of simply giving them credit for the image!

Quite a few very high resolution shots, and many others too!
