a universe of galaxies [View all]
ive been using a remote telescope (telescope.live) to download data for astrophotography that i can then process however i choose. I used data from an area of the sky i knew to be rich in galaxies and after processing them i used a technique called plate solving to label the galaxies in the photo. the tiny pinpoint galaxies are all on the order of 300 million light years away,the large galaxies are in the area of 20 million light years away
