[edit] Wrong images?

The image looks identical to the stereographic projection. That cannot be right. Can anyone fix this (or use the images from the German wikipedia which are correct. :-) --85.75.152.25 16:14, 8 November 2005 (UTC) (de:Benutzer:RokerHRO)

Look close; they're different. And the images are from the USGS, so they're accurate. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 16:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Okay I see. You're right. Thats because the images only show half of the earth sphere. So the differences between stereographic and azimuthal-equidistant projection are hardly to see. My images show the whole earth and so they show a significant distorsion near the border. This distorsion I missed at the USGS images. :-) --84.158.246.203 16:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC) (de:Benutzer:RokerHRO)
