The "Art" of Astrophotography - Article

https://www.theguardian.com/artandde...-made-in-space

Interesting reading...

"So, one reason science has become so good at making art since 1995 is that art has shaped the way scientists see. Astronomers look at a nebula and see a grandiose painting."

So are we producing scientific images, technical art or cosmic landscapes?
Maybe all three?
I am unashamedly placing one foot firmly in the technical art camp, but others may have their own thoughts...

What do you think?
Cheers
Andy
