Astronomical Images
|
Please feel free to use these images in whatever way you would like.
However, I would ask that you leave the copyright on each one
as they do take some time to put together. All images were obtained using Johnson B, V, and R filters with the MDM Observatory 1.3m telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona. Images were reduced and processed using IRAF (iraf.noao.edu). Color was added post facto using GIMP (www.gimp.org). For the how-tos of making images like these, see A Recipe for Cooking Up Astronomical Images by Jayanne English at the Swinburne Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing. For more information on color in astronomical images, take a look at this article by Till Credner at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. |
