• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Devils Tower

That's the Devil's Tower I use, along with his Chimney Rock right above it on that page.

I see they have the Arecibo Radio Telescope listed on that same page, which I'm going to try out. Anybody know if there's any other astronomy-themed scenery out there such as the Very Large Array radio telescope outside of Soccoro, New Mexico, Mt. Palomar or Mt. Wilson in California, or Kitt Peak in Arizona? I have the observatories for Mauna Kea in Hawaii, Cerro Tololo in Chile, and MIT's Haystack Observatory outside of Boston but seeing some others would be good.

Oh, BTW, Project Open Sky has a very nice rendition of the SOFIA Boeing 747-SP flying observatory (os747spv4a_sofia.zip).

Well this is odd and annoying. Despite downloading the Haystack, Cerro Tololo, and SOFIA 747-SP files seemingly normally I can't open or unzip any of them. I get a message saying either the file is empty (what? SOFIA is 9.2MB and took three minutes to pull down from FlightSim.com???) or is in an invalid file format. Anybody else see this?
