Astrophotographers now face the same dilemma when it comes to AI-assisted imaging. Philip Smith noticed this when he asked RepairitAI to clean up images of Tiangong and the International Space Station. While the result was amazing, AI also decided to add details that weren’t captured during imaging:

This is Sharpless 261, or Lower's Nebula in Orion. It was discovered by father and son amateur astrophotographers Harold and Charles Lower in 1939.

This is only around 6 hours of integration using SHO filters. 🔭

Alright, fellow astrophotographers. Let's see your snow fort observatories! Here's mine up here in snowy Massachusetts, USA. We got about 18 inches of snow last weekend and there's no thaw in the forecastable future.

NASA Astronomy Hourly Picture - 2001-06-08: Three Galaxies in Draco
#Astronomy #NASA #Space
This intriguing trio of galaxies is sometimes called the NGC 5985/Draco Group and so (quite reasonably) is located in the northern constellation Draco. From left to right are face-on spiral NGC 5985, elliptical galaxy NGC 5982, and edge-on spiral NGC 5981 -- all within this single telescopic field of view spanning a little more than half the width of the full moon. While this grouping is far too small to be a galaxy cluster and has not been cataloged as a compact group, these galaxies do lie roughly 100 million light-years from planet Earth. On close examination with spectrographs, the bright core of the striking face-on spiral NGC 5985 shows prominent emission in specific wavelengths of light, prompting astronomers to classify it as a Seyfert, a type of active galaxy. Not as well known as other tight groupings of galaxies, the contrast in visual appearance makes this triplet an attractive subject for avid astrophotographers.

I didn’t say we remove them. As astrophotographers we reject them. There is a difference. The technique has been around for 2 decades or more. Satellites are easier to deal with than light pollution.

NGC 55: A Galaxy of Nebulas: Can you see nebulas in other galaxies? Yes, some nebulas shine brightly enough—if you know how to look. Clouds of hydrogen and oxygen emit light at very specific colors, and by isolating them, astronomers and astrophotographers can reveal otherwise unnoticed structures.

NGC 55: A Galaxy of Nebulas
Can you see nebulas in other galaxies? Yes, some nebulas shine brightly enough -- if you know how to look. Clouds of hydrogen and oxygen emit light at very specific colors, and by isolating them, astronomers and astrophotographers can reveal structures that would otherwise be too faint to notice. This deep, 50-hour exposure highlights glowing hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue) across galaxy NGC 55, viewed nearly edge-on. Also known as the String of Pearls Galaxy, NGC 55 is often compared to our Milky Way's satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), although NGC 55 lies much farther away at about 6.5 million light-years. The resulting image uncovers a sprinkling of emission nebulas within and sometimes above the galaxy's dusty disk, offering a detailed look at distant star-forming regions.

I would like to post in the feeds because I am an astrophotographer and would like to share my passion with other astrophotographers. I am also a citizen scientist who collaborates with many NASA projects for citizen scientists, and I am also a contributor and member of the AAVSO.

Haha, I just knew you’d be tickled by the “gear review” comment. 100% accurate. Astrophotographers would be all “So I was out getting imaging data for M42 (Takahashi Epsilon E-160ED w/ QHY MiniCAM 8 on a SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro) when the UFO landed and aliens came out!”
