So in this image, the brightness has been very highly compressed into the narrow dynamic range of the output device. The result is an image that totally misrepresents the optical structure, but at the same time allows the entire structure to be seen at once. You can have images optimized for photom...

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap040513.html http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100614.html I find it interesting to compare two earlier Apods of the Red Rectangle with today's re-processed version. The colour in the 2010 version is more pink-ish than the earlier and later versions. Has anyone any idea why thi...
