Hi! I'm a regular attendee of the annual Nebraska Star Party, an annual gathering of astronomy fans at Merritt Reservoir, a state park near Valentine Nebraska (USA). We get a couple hundred attendees during the week-long event. It is fantastically dark there at night.
http://www.nebraskastarparty.org/ I'm also a big fan of Stellarium and wanted to make a landscape for the event. Landscapes are cool, but become useful too when combined with Stellarium telescope control for "goto" scopes. If you were to look at this address, you would find nine files. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5pfwoufy0QXaWtCTzV0czdSRHM The most interesting ones do NOT have "-GE" at the end of the file name. They are Google Earth generated landscapes that I used as a scaffolding to build the "real" landscape. They are still pretty cool and I decided to make full landscapes of them but with not strong desire to push them. The other four files are what should be considered. : NSP-2015-02K.zip – 2.6 MB NSP-2015-04K.zip – 10.0 MB NSP-2015-08K.zip – 37.7 MB NSP-2015-16K.zip – 130.1 MB I made the HUGE landscape 16384x8192 (16K) and then scaled it down to make the smaller ones. The largest file shows wicked amounts of ground and horizon detail. It is great when you've got a powerful graphics card, but the smaller ones are more practical. The NSP-2015-08K.zip – 37.7 MB one seems to be appropriate for most systems, but I still like the idea of making the smaller ones too since we aren't running Stellarium for the purpose of looking at the ground. :-) if the editor of the Landscapes collection at http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Landscapes wants to add this/these files to it please feel free to do so. I created a 200x114 pixel as requested. NebraskaStarParty2015.jpg Anyone, please feel free to contact me about this landscape if you have anything to express. Enjoy! Rustin L.
