Old School Astro Comes Alive in the Digital World
It's now amazing to see that many old school analog astronomical techniques are coming alive and being converted into the new digital world. Many of these techniques and methods need categorization.
* Digital Filters
Filters are made with numbers that dial in highly specific spectroscopic ranges using photo computer image processing
* Amping
Telescope apertures are electronically increased by factors of ten and one hundred
* Flashing
Digital images are treated like the retro film technique that applied a flash of light to the film to increase the density of the faint and dim astro image.
* Aberration Removal
Chromatic aberration and other aberrations are electronically removed.
* Dark Sky
A city setting has a lot of light pollution that did not exist years ago. Strip away some layers of light pollution using physical light pollution filters and/or a digital image process.
* Spectroscopic Film
Make your own "digital" spectral film by selecting the desired spectral characteristics using modern day filters and/or digital computer image processing.
