terrierjohn Posted January 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Does anyone know if the curvature of the horizon, as displayed on the Millenium bridgecam when at sea, is showing the genuine Earth's curvature or is it just a feature of a wide angle camera lens?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reklawr Posted January 29, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I suspect the curvature you are seeing is the result of the lens in the bridge cam. Standing on a hill or bridge of a ship of 100 ft height, the horizon is at a distance of 12.25 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
