Hi, I just though I'd put these up for review. Hopefully this is the correct forum. 
Ok, let’s start with Atlantis, first, the background mountains;

The highlighted area on the left corresponds to this area later on;
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/3465/a26uz.jpg
The comparison is easily seen when they are highlighted, with the possible camera POV put in (red line);
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/2802/a35sk.jpg
This makes sense as the scout ship is directly over the small Ancient outpost that we know was in turn directly beneath Atlantis.
By inference then, the highlighted red area on the left is the area where, in later times, the F-302 and Prometheus would come to the rescue, again, it corresponds, with the two small rises highlighted and the path of the incoming Earth vessels;
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/113/a48ns.jpg
It is therefore likely that the section of ice field we see in the foreground of the Atlantis shot is a higher part of the mountain range/ice field that the scout ship took, the slightly different POV’s are evident here;
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/1388/a52oe.jpg
Well, that’s all well and good, but what about scale?
Well, Atlantis, once perspective is taken into account, appears to occupy about half the ice field in a straight line to any given point, once the red line is extrapolated to take into account the part we can’t see in this shot, the inverse square law dictates that if Atlantis is half the field long, the next line, in this case green, should be half as long on the image to be the same length in real life, and it is;
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/5590/a63zz.jpg
Right, so, if we can now scale the ice field, we can scale Atlantis. Fair enough. Let’s take a look at the battle in the present, of particular interest in the line highlighted in red;
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/3330/a74ls.jpg
because this is the same line in this picture;
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/6933/a89ef.jpg
Also, scaling the Prometheus from these two images, a scout ship is about 15m long, an Al’kesh, thanks to stargate-tech.net, is stated to be 67m long. Now, from the first image, the BC-303 is 12 Scout-ships long, which equates to about 180m long, from the second (and the actual sequence) it appears to be just under 4 Al’Kesh long, which would put it at just under 268m long, since exact value appears to be around 3.4 Al’Kesh, we will take the middle figure and say Prometheus is around 200m long, which fits in well with other estimates on its length.
After taking into account perspective, we find that the distance to this line is 2 BC-303’s long;
http://img65.exs.cx/img65/1217/a92nh.jpg
Therefore, the total distance is 400m, account for the location of the scout, the Ancient outpost is 300m from this ice hillock.
Then, scaling backwards, we arrive at a total of 13 lengths of 300m until you get to the mountains, this is about 3900m, or a fraction under 4km, this makes sense when you consider that the F-302’s were starting to fire their missiles at this range, considering they are modified AIM-120’s, 4km is likely the optimum kill range against agile tough targets such as Death Gliders, the heavier payloads, necessary for taking out Al’kesh bombers (bearing in mind the weight of weapons grade naquada), may also be a factor is this shorter range. It is also likely this was for the element of surprise, the missiles arrive just to fast to dodge effectively, while giving the launching aircraft time for multiple launches.
