I have thought though that deep sky should really be broken down into a few categories just like astrophotographers tend to do with their gallery.

To have a shot that took a few minutes to take up against an image that took several days to capture and many hours to process has always struck me as odd.

Nightscapes, whilst I love them, are not really even astrophotography by the usual common meaning.

If you were too loose in your definition any image could be called astrophotography as after all any daytime image has part of the sun in it either directly or through illumination of the scene. Taking the argument to the extreme.

Greg.
