Yay! I found a new way to find out how far and where you can see the Austonian! (It's very easy and fun!)

1) Download Google Earth if you haven't.
-Just type in Google Earth on Google and it'll pop up.
2) Go to the Austonian. (You should get used to moving around in a bit)
3) Click the add placemark button. (The one with a yellow pin)
4) On the view tab, in the "range" field, type in 100000m.
5) On the altitude tab, from the dropdown box, select relative to ground.
6) Set the altitude to 208 meters, which is equal to 683FT.
7) Make sure you check the checkbox for extend to ground.
8) Click the style, color tab.
9) For "Lines", increase the width to size 4.0
10) Change the color of the line if you want.
11) Click Ok.
12) Make sure the terrain setting is on.
Sidebar>layers>terrain
13) Drag to a location far away and zoom in all the way to the ground.
14) See the navigation tools on the right of the map?
-If you don't, click view, show navigation, then always.
15) The top most tool (the one with the eye), helps you look around without having to move anywhere. Click and hold the up arrow until you can see the horizon.
16) Click and hold the left or right directional buttons from the same tool until you see the your placemark. That's the Austonian.
17) If you see the line you made sticking up from the ground, it means you are able to see the Austonian from here!!!

18) Have fun looking around for other vantage points!
