ASTRO PHOTO

A peek into the sky.

Just used my DLSR and some tweaks (no cheating, meaning no Photohop filters)

Color in this photo is used to highlight interesting features of the celestial object being seen. It is added to the separate black-and-white exposures that are combined to make the final image.

Filters allow variety of wavelengths of light to be visible to our eye. Since the cameras can detect light outside the visible light spectrum, the use of filters allows scientists to study "invisible" features of objects — those only visible in ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths.

by the way, the only way to see stars from New York City is by using a DSLR/telescope
