remained in the photosphere of a blue giant for 10 hours.
Is there any way to caculate the altitude of the ship without knowing the size of the star?
Regardless tell me the formula assuming I know both please, it would get upper and lower limits for it.

You don't really need the altitude. You can roughly estimate the photosphere temperature and hence radiation intensity from the colour (don't tell Edam though; he'll try to sell you some long-winded bullshit about how you need a lot more info than that).

Now to figure out how to get these Figures to convert to stellar luminosity and we'll be getting somewhere. Then I shall use the convinient calculator (That is very useful) assuming it is on the edge of the photosphere.

The pure white band works out to about 6,600 Kelvin based on the Kelvin-to-RGB color picker in Lightwave 3D. Cyan and blue aren't blackbody colors so AFIAK their temperature cannot be estimated.

9.039E+5 Megatons per hour is the result. It is made clear in the show that the effect of this is cumulative, (weired, no?) giving a capacity of 9.039E+6 megations before failure.
One larger battleship was capable of destroying one of these with a two to three shot volley (and some more for good measure, but the target was already breaking up)
Since then however both the sheilds and weapons on Goa'uld ships have been upgraded considerably.
9,039 Gigatons is still less than one HTL though. And the trekkies claim to be able to defeat the Goa'uld
Still won't last long against a midrange calc ISD though.
