Apart from being just some flat-out gorgeous imagery, consider for a moment the hardware used. The camera & lens setup is well beyond anything I have (or could possibly afford)… but it’s also far beyond the best the *world* had to offer only a few decades ago. Go find an astronomy book from before the age of digital imagery (before, say, the 1980’s) and the best, biggest most expensive professional telescopes in the world could not produce images this clear and awesome. Not, anyone with maybe $5000 and some time can produce astrophotos better than Mount Palomar could back in the day.
