I am excited to report a discovery:
I found a 521-km sightline from Pik Koroleva. This makes it the 2nd longest sightline on the planet:
Start point 41.080000,77.769167 (Pik Koroleva, elevation 5800 m)
Bearing 188.914568°
End point 36.449604,76.867903 (elevation 6416 m)

This 521-km sightline was found using a custom multithreaded program that is currently crunching through 2.4 million viewpoints. It will complete the full analysis in about 90 days

Currently the longest known sightline is 538 km from Pik Dankova & was discovered manually in 2008
My ultimate goal is to find if a longer one exists by doing an exhaustive search of the surface of the planet. And we have 90 days of compute time to wait to have an answer😎
