Nebula itself looks amazing but what’s even more mindblowing is the background filled with crazy number of stars and, I guess, galaxies. Thanks for putting into perspective time and distance the light traveled through.
Yes, the stars are quite overwhelming. I had to significantly decrease their size to not visually overpower the nebulosity. If I remember correctly Pixinsight counted about 60000 stars while plate solving the mosaic.
Yes, although the answer is a little more complicated. Technically they are all points of light and should be a pixel wide each as their angular resolution is too small to fill more than a single pixel. However due to the nature of light, and the different brightnesses of each star, they look differently sized. Thus how "big" they look in a photo not used for scientific purposes is up to the person processing the data. For nebulae it helps to keep them "smaller" as they otherwise tend to overwhelm the subject.
Wow!!!!
Somer van Wish! 😄
Wow!
So 😎!

@@sterrejag so they would be bigger and brighter in the original photo?

Wonderlik! Met die koue tand by ons, kan mens beswaarlik glo dat iemand 'n kortbroek kan aanhê!
Ek sien daar was sneeu op Sutherland! Ek het nogal gewonder hoeveel aande is wolkloos die tyd van die jaar daarso?
