Oh.. real pictures of space don't exist you say?

scroll down to the imaging sections. These people ( most of them ) are just regular fuckos like me and you. Difference being they have expensive telescopes and CCD cameras. Been an astronomer all my life ( mid 40s ), owned telescopes since I was a kid.

Go to the site. Have a look through. Just tell me WHY. WHY would "they" put that much shit out there as fake? If space was fake boys, we wouldn't be discovering new galaxies every day.

You can follow almost real time novas in other galaxies. These folks are most of the ones actually discovering these novas, by pure accident - just happen to be imaging M51 that night, and a super nova occurred in that galaxy. These novas are then tracked DAILY by thousands of amateur astronomers who, DAILY post their images. You can literally watch a super nova grow and then dim through it's entire process.

All done by regular folks, who work regular jobs. Page isn't NASA / government funded, it's privately owned by the admins and funded by the members of the site ; all just regular folks.

Categories for things in space: Messier, New General Category, Abel, Caldwell, Index Catalogue. Each one of these has hundreds of objects in them.

This is only one website / forum for astro photography. Go ahead and put that into google and see how many astro forums there actually are. There are over 7 million amateur astronomers in USA ALONE. Amateur astronomer is anyone who owns a scope and regularly uses it, and doesn't teach astro stuff in a school or work for NASA.

How and WHY would they fake that many things: nebula, novas, galaxies, clusters, neutron stars, dwarf stars, wolf rayett stars, dark nebulae, merging galaxies, just to name a few. WHY.
