Hong Kong at night

[Peter Ward]

Found some old pano data on my hard disk...and with the wonderful weather we have been having in Sydney (not! )
.....decided I needed to learn how to put some Zoomify code into my web pages.

The link is here

Cool - I remember the day time version. I bet not many people doing astro-photography there. Looks like a beacon of light.

Hong Kong actually has some great planetary imagers. The smog helps. Deep sky ...well...yes downtown Sydney is a dark site in comparison

Ah yes Hong Kong - my current home away from home.
I should go downstairs and add a new datapoint to my little graph:

Something tells me I'll have to change the scale on the y axis.

This is how I do my astronomy when in HK : laptop, room service for dinner (so I can get back to the hotel early) and a remote control observatory back home. Pic taken last night. Got some good data to play with now.

That is an amazing panorama Peter.

That is one city that is way to big for this bushy.
