Well I am going to have a laugh now - at myself almost 50 years ago. There was a bunch of us at school with various interests. Some of us in Astronomy and others in photography. Now deep sky photos were very hard to produce back then , and I mean very hard. So I hooked up with this friend who was a good photographer - he had a Ziess Contax camera. We opened up the Larousse Encyclopaedia of Astronomy and carefully re-photographed the pages with galaxy pictures (Palomar, Lick, Wilson etc) developed and printed them (in black & white of course) on postcard size paper and passed them off as our own work! The ruse only lasted a few days but it was good while it lasted!
