Default My new flying rule - bring camera

Judah writes:

What is the resolution of the human eye, anyway?


About 30 seconds of arc at best, under good viewing conditions and in
the zone of maximum visual acuity. To put that in aviation terms,
it's an ability to distinguish an object the size of a pie plate (nine
inches) from an altitude of 5000 feet, looking straight down.
