Kitt Peak National Observatory's buildings caught the morning light yesterday, so that we could see them from miles away. My rough estimation is that the distance from where I took this photo to Kitt Peak is 42 miles.
I used my point-and-shoot Sony Cybershot camera with a 10x optical zoom. The telephoto was extended all the way and set for optical zoom only, since digital zoom can produce pixel distortion. I held the camera steady and stood on the highest point I could find, the cement block base of a nearby fence.
I took multiple shots and then chose the one that was clearest. Not bad for a pocket camera!
