Starry Night Pro V6 simulated view

Hi Mike

Great article and great website information for this exciting event – well done to you and the IIS team!

Here is a simulated view garnered from Starry Night Pro V6. I exported 18 screen captures at 15 min intervals and assembled them in a 6:30pm to 10:45pm sequence using Layers in Photoshop CS3.

Camera, lens and focal length details are on the composite image. Simulated FOV approx 39° wide x 56° high.

Cheers

Dennis

PS - Note that the Lunar disc in the simulated view below is NOT to scale. Starry Night Pro "inflates" the Moon’s size for pictorial purposes when viewing at wide fields. See later post for scale views.
