[Qgis-user] Reprojection of SRTM

[Bhaskaran]

Hi,

I am new to QGIS.  The first thing I wanted to do was to create a hillshade
for the Indian subcontinent using SRTM elevation data.

The elevation map looks fine.  However, the hillshade looks strage with a
max terrain value of 195 or so (it shold be 8000m).  I figured out that
elevation data should be reprojected before attempting to draw hillshade.
The question is reproject to what? What should be the target SRS?

Please help.
