- Oppose not an exceptional picture from space. The bay is cut at the south and north. If we allow this, why not any other pic from space? Peregrine981 08:01, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

- Bay Area San Francisco picture better
Can you, take me one Bay Area San Francisco picture better?
Well, here you can see the San Francisco airport, airterminal, airplain by airplain, you can see Berkeley University Campus building by buliding, you can see Alcatraz Isle and its building, Golden Gate pilon, all in one, focused from 290 Kilometers altitude, I would like to see better, if you can.
They didn't cut.
You can see from Pacific Ocean to Sierra Nevada and its lake, San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay comprise, all in one real focused in appropriate spaced framing.
The intriguing aspects are the technical data to take this photo:
- speed? Shuttle Columbia goes 27.000 Km/h, what's time exposure to take so large and so deep, real focused photo in all corner, at this speed?
- camera? How many meters is the HB camera length?
- chemical? How is the film for a resolution of the distance between the nearest buildins?
- astronomical? Latitude and Longitude of spacecraft (Nadir), Sun Azimuth and Sun elevation?
I saw a lot of photos from space but shorelines and mountains, buildings and bridge, jail and university, parks and hills, all focused visible toghether are rare.
Thank you.
