Area 51 satellite mosaic available on-line

Go to http://members.tripod.com/~bswearin/ and
you will see that I have put together a large
satellite section of the Nellis complex from the
nuclear craters in Yucca flats across Area 51
and Papoose Lake to the eastern entrance of
Area 51. If your browser allows you to scroll
around then you will see the entire picture. It is
a large picture (500K) and almost ate up the
remaining space I am allowed on the host server
so it may take awhile to load. Due to the varying
lighting conditions when the satellites made their
passes thoughout the year, some sections are
darker than others and I used Photoshop to
brighten them up a bit and by doing so, some
detail was lost. The Groom Lake and Papoose
Lake quadrangles were particularly dark before
the processing. If anyone can give me any
pointers to use Photoshop more effectively to
make a seamless mosiac, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Bill Swearingen
P.S. This can be used in conjunction with Digital
Elevation Model data from the U.S.G.S. to make
a nice terrain fly through using a 3D rendering
package. Go for it.
