He had about 5 mini observatories in his front garden, the rest were remotely owned and operated and occasionally burst into life as a result of an internet signal.

It’s handy to have a nice big motorised telescope to do the light gathering. What was the aperture of the scope?

When you shoot in RAW it is not specified when you take the picture. The camera does detect more colour than the human eye as we see most stars as black and white so colour becomes a subjective choice.

I have removed crop on this image for you.
