Everything in red can be seen by (and thus see) someone here.
I know the tool doesn't take trees, buildings, or atmospheric effects into account to calculate these views, but on a clear day this summer maybe someone with a drone (hint hint) could go out to some of these places and try to get a record for the farthest Austin skyline pic on the forum. |
That is so cool. Thanks for posting. I'll take that as a challenge accepted
At this time my views of downtown/6xG have topped out in the 21-23 mile range.
That includes this shot from the ridges north of Lago Vista/Balcones Canyonlands NWR:
They also pop up in the southern area of Georgetown along and near I-35. (behind the Domain highrises).
