Seeing the fucking galaxy is the main reason I want to go there at least once in my life
Or is this done with long exposure?
Either way, I wish there were international black-out days, during which the traffic lights everywhere on Earth were shut off so we could see into space

the exposure can't be [I]that[/I] long, otherwise the stars would be lines instead of points. Somewhere like that with so little light pollution could allow you to have exposures pretty fast depending on the camera/lens.

If you go somewhere away from light pollution (like really far away) and it's not the summer (if you're at high latitudes, most of europe) you can see the milky way with the naked eye.
Basically, right now anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere that is far from light pollution.

The lens used is pretty wide so it could probably be up to 8-10 seconds shutterspeed for each photo.

In case anyone wondered, this beautiful shot is from the Need for Speed movie.
But I don't know how they did it... Looks a bit CG'ed to me.
[QUOTE=Joazzz;45817878]imagine the mess if that thing crashed[/QUOTE]
I'd think stepping out of the crash site would be more painful/problematic than the crash itself.

For up to about 28mm (18~mm on a aps-c crop sensor) you can get away with about 30 seconds (about 60 seconds for time lapses) which is enough to get enough light to see the milky way and not have the image destroyed by high iso noise.

The comments on this made me start thinking of what it's like to be decapitated. Maybe not by this because they probably would have been killed instantly by the blunt force trauma, but if your head is cleanly removed from your body, do you remain conscious, even for an instant? It's known that the head continues spasming after decapitation if it's especially clean, but I wonder if the person is actually lucid for any of that time..

This is why I love living in the country, I recently moved to the edge of town so its a little bit brighter here, but I can still see the milky way from my bedroom looking out the window. Biking a mile or so into further into the country and looking at the stars is amazing

This is the best thing to happen to the thread
With no light pollution and a clear moon, you can see the center of the milky way pretty clearly. Atleast with the corner of your eye.

I don't know if it's 100% true, but I read somewhere that the light pollution in the US is so intense that one would have to go out into the Atlantic or Pacific oceans to see "absolute darkness".

I bet that somewhere in the desert there wont be that much pollution.
Or probably in places that have "newly" made observatories.

Probably the last time you tripped and hit your head.

Just go to an observatory ffs.
You wouldn't really rather be living in the middle of nowhere, poverty striken, just to be able to see the stars nightly...It gets boring after a while trust me.

Unused concepts for the "MUTO"
Femuto - Top
Hokmuto - Lower
[editline]28th August 2014[/editline]
The top features the female MUTO with dozens of pairs of central limbs
The lower shows the male MUTO as an attacker, with large bat-like wings as opposed to the "B-2 Wings" featured in the film

i don't think that's true. there are some places in colorado i've been to where the night sky is just absolutely incredible. especially in the mountains

Not saying there's no where in America you can't see the night sky or stars.
What it said was there's no where in the US that you can have [I]absolute darkness[/I], which was a defined term, to see a "perfect" night sky.
Like, even out in the middle of no where, there is an ever so faint bit of light from nearby population centers that may not even be noticeable to the naked eye other than if you were in that absolute darkness.

Right, this has reminded me of the "Information Library".rar that someone on this forum provided full of informational diagrams, cheat sheets etc and I really want to remember who originally uploaded it. I have been slowly (and hardly) adding to it since.
This could have been anywhere between 2005 and 2010 really as I joined back in '05.

Somebody posts a metric fuck ton of them every other week or so on Imgur, and they always hit front page, too, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them.
