The astronomy picture was brilliant.
Thx. I wish I owned the equipment. The scope, camera and mount would
cost over $US7K. I rented remote time from an instillation in Moorook
SA, OZ.
Do telescopes now have sensors that
capture the image directly?

Not really. Astrophotography utilizes two technology's. Only at the
extreme high end are American instruments actually designed around a
particular sensor array. The 400inch at Palamor maybe and Hubble for
sure. The camera I rented has an RGB filter matrix over the pixel array.
My image was exposed for 2 minutes to produce real time color as opposed
to separate R G B stacked images.
