Thanks for providing that link Andy it was really nice to read.

It does put things into perspective, that we as amateurs who tinker and curse our equipment to tweak the best performance we can to make our images. We then keep our fingers crossed that we have enough data to make not just a decent image but a work of art.
Regularly now, some of us produce real works of art that wows not only other astronomers but the general public as well.

As for your question, I think NB imaging is technical art and OSC imaging is cosmic landscapes.

Question, do you know what that last photograph in the article is? The one described as a delicate butterfly. Is it something we amateurs can collect data on?


Cheers
Bill
