@thomasfuchs @andresmh @citp @PrincetonCS countless human years of refining techniques and observations passed from one generation to the next only for an algorithm to come and spew out a three legged elefootrunk with a floating lamp post and fake flowers and apparently even a fake nassau hall because the masonry and architecture is all f'ed up and it looks nothing like any photos

tonight's question: do x-ray astronomers care at all about what bands color imagery generated from their data use? does it matter?

fun fact: x-ray images come from event files and each photon gets its energy level recorded, so you can divide the bands however finely or coarsely you want! this does not make it easier to decide what color to make things...

Guess I can post these now.
