Re: [Stellarium-pubdevel] Pyramids landscape

[Georg Z. <geo...@un...>]

On first glance nice but...

I think it should not look like that.

For this perspective you cannot be that close, and also the closeness of
the city is completely lost. Here is a pano with approximately the same
perspective, but from apparently much greater distance, I just made with
Google Earth. (I know SRTM is not perfect, etc., but it should be fine to
get the perspective approximately right.) Maybe add a "decorative only"
warning? I prefer more accurate panos. But at least azimuth was about
right.

Kind regards,
Georg
