The Prime Meridian by

The Prime Meridian is the line at 0º longitude from which both International and Universal time is measured on Earth. The line runs through the centre of the Peter Harrison Planetarium at The Royal Observatory, Greenwich and is shown here running through the roof which is angled to point directly at the North Star and match the plane of the Universal Equator.

    I don’t do HDR : ( Aint got the program ). I want to learn all i can about it though and get set up ! i have viewed a lot of this HDR photography on here and this one definitely kicks !! It’s so crisp !! Guess it helps when the subject is as still as a house !? Am i right to assume that !?

  • Thanks Sarah! :) Tony.
