That picture is awesome. I don't think that the original comment was meant to indicate that a normal flight would blast you with quite this much radiation. :)Originally Posted by Evin Grant
This is Bullshit plain and simple. The earths magnetic field is what protects us from the majority of Gamma and X-ray radiation and it extends thousands of miles into space.
There is no way that 5 miles in the air adds any significant risk factor for exposure to cosmic radiation. Even the Apollo moon astronouts were safely inside the earths magnetic field!
Rather, he was indicating the potential for a dead pixel, which may or may not be non-trivial.
I was just curious whether this was a real or remote consideration when transporting the camera.
