This image was rendered from a VistaPro 4.0 DEM (digital elevation map)
of the Big Bear (Running Springs, CA) area and is looking due west
from Big Bear lake near where the Riverside Telescope Makers Conference
is held at Angeles Oaks. VistaPro added the stars which are
not correct. I'll add the correct star view with either StarryNight
or Distant Suns in a later shot. The images were converted
from TIFF, TARGA, GIF and JPEG formats using an
Amiga 4000 running Black Belt Software's Image Master.
The image of the moon was from an image I found on the
WEB a while ago (I honestly cannot remember from where)
and was inserted with Corel Photo House.
