bring me the best picture FROM SPACE (no telescopes) of the milky way
Every camera kinda has a system of lenses that are a telescope in some sense.
>>170371224 reelz? I wanna slap your bitch mouth right now a camara is not a telescope and never will be, kys
>>17037102the main point for this is the following, get an equal to human vision picture of what the universe around us looks like. this comes from all those milky way pictures we've all seen where it is full of color and brightness, some say that isn't a thing, and it is fully the work of long exposure camera settings. so my idea is the following, take a normal exposure, that'd mimic human vision. just to see if 0 atmosphere and light pollution do indeed bring out the colors in the milky way, and what does space around us looks like to the human eye
>>17037184Define telescope
>>17037184>A telescope is an optical instrument designed to gather light or other electromagnetic radiation to make distant objects appear closer, larger, and more detailedEvery camera is a telescope
>>17037579Shut the fuck up egghead. Cameras are not telescopes.Now deliver. God you pencil necked academics are so useless
>>17037582Creep.
missing the point>>17037530
>>17037184he's right, retard
>>17037767retards gonna retard
>>17037530>this comes from all those milky way pictures we've all seenthese specifically, picrellong story short I wanna see how the milky way looks and the rest of the universe around us
>>17037530>so my idea is the following, take a normal exposure, that'd mimic human vision.There is no such thing as a normal exposure. If you put a normal camera in the dark, it will increase the exposure time and ISO, and widen the aperture to balance out the low light. And even if you change it back, there is magical set of settings which matches your eye. In general cameras are much more sensitive. >this comes from all those milky way pictures we've all seen where it is full of color and brightness, some say that isn't a thing, and it is fully the work of long exposure camera settings.Something that comes out in short exposures is no more real than something that needs a long exposure. They're showing you information. Neither are showing you what it looks like to the human eye, but that doesn't get very far.If you want to see what the Milky Way looks like then go to a very dark site on a new moon. The visible light background in space isn't that much lower. And it can be worse in practice, because of scattered light from the Earth.There are plots of milky way pictures from space. But like the example you posted, they are long exposures.
>>17037939>There are plots of milky way pictures from space.>But like the example you posted, they are long exposures.sux that they're long expossures, any you know and can post?I figure both light pollution and the atmosphere are factors that when taken out the equation, would let the colors and light of the milky way really shine
>>17037122>>17037579>what are pinhole camerad
I just wanna take a look at the universe
>>17038412Eggheads babbling in circles about their retarded ass definitions about what is and isn't a telescope won't let you. Talking you into sleep with their boring nonsense is their strategy.Take a vacation in Chile, rent a car, book a guide, pack enough non perishable food and water and go to the Atacama desert and spend a night there.

>>17038087I tried to post one, but the site blocked it.https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/science/don-pettit-photos-nasa-astronaut.htmlhttps://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/astrophotography/nasa-astronaut-don-pettit-best-images-of-spacehttps://www.nasa.gov/image-article/milky-way-on-the-horizon/
>>17038675the last one delivers, but we earthling nerds deserve something morepretty sure this would inspire young aspiring spacemans
>>17038675>>17038831so it really is shining out there, do you guys think so?
>>17038931It's quite difficult to take good astro photos, because the ISS is constantly moving. And the big windows in the cupola mostly point towards Earth. Don Pettit is probably the best astro-astrophotographer. But it's really no substitute for seeing it yourself. No image can ever really show what the human eye sees, we have huge dynamical range. Also the Milky Way is faint and fuzzy, which makes it hard to see color in it. The cells in your eye which detect color (cones) are not as sensitive as the rods, which see in black and white. Most nebulae and galaxies in telescopes with an eyepiece, look white-ish.
>>17038941interesting
>>17038941they need to tell the next astronaut to go on a mini-mission outside the space station to take pictures
>>17038965just today saw news about an astronaut going for maintenance work on the ISS, just take a pic niggers
>>17039254somebody ping ISS give them basic tips of photography and lighting (just avoid the earth moon and sun in the frame or direct sun light in the shot) and tell them to take a fucking pic of the milky way under optimal conditions, no long expossure cheating, nake eye-like photography. I assume they need to be on a maintenance jig right outside the station, take the chance.
