mickey finn Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 That's the one... god knows how you find these things. If you look on Paul Hayes Flickr page you can see other pics of Lincoln cathedral and stuff, also there is a pic floating around of the Snowdonia mountain range from either Ringinglow or Grenoside.

Litotes Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 V762 Cas in Cassiopeia at 16,308 light-years away. Its brightness is magnitude 5.8 or just above the 6th magnitude limit. *sorry* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stifflersmom Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 There is a viewing table at Ringinglow from which it is claimed you can see the Humber Bridge. In the right conditions you can see the towers via reflected sunlight, but I've never seen them with the naked eye. Lincoln Cathegral and various power stations are easy to spot from there. Lincoln Cathedral can also be seen approaching the Owler Bar roundabout from Fox House. Humber Bridge is certainly viewable from Green Moor above Stocksbridge. Snowdon can be viewed from Kinder Scout (http://portervalleydaydreams.blogspot.com/2017/02/snowdon-as-seen-from-kinder-scout.html), but I'm doubtful it can be seen from anywhere further East in the Peak because both mam Torr and Kinder would obscure it.

shanes teeth Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 A curious question, but the group of cooling towers you can see NE from Sheffield is it drax? What is the furthest landmark you can see from within Sheffield? I feel sure that you used to be able to see two cooling towers from the motorway at Tinsley but they seem to have gone now.

Phili Buster Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I feel sure that you used to be able to see two cooling towers from the motorway at Tinsley but they seem to have gone now. That is evidence of the heavy air pollution in that area obscuring the view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Bynnol Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Looking east,the warning lights on Belmont TV transmitter are visible 55 miles away with the naked eye. The transmitter is on the Lincolnshire Wolds is the single tower of lights next to the lights on the two chimneys at West Burton PS and Cottam PS(1 chimney).
