Nightscape The Prime Meridian at night

[evacguy]

Old Royal Naval college, National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory and the laser illuminated Prime Meridian. The green laser marks the route of the Prime Meridian in a northerly direction from the Royal Observatory. Under good viewing conditions, it is visible at a distance of over 36 miles with the naked eye and over 60 miles with binoculars. Photograph was taken handheld and I wasn't really expecting anything to come out, but I managed to pull something out of the frame using LrC.

Very interesting. I have actually been there a couple of times but never at night.

Thanks Richard. It's certainly worth a visit at night, the buildings are very nicely illuminated, and across the water, Canary Wharf is pretty nice too. I need to remember to bring a tripod next time I plan to be there at night.
