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. bib Title: Re: Sky at night Post by: marius on February 23, 2011, 10:48:30 PM Hi!
