Meh I've taken better with my Nokia N95.

It's nowt really, nothing special. Trust me. It's certainly not awe inspiring and utterly breathtaking. Or terrifying. No way.

This is the same deep sky object that I shot with my K3, but instead it was shot with a cooled dedicated astro camera.

This was shot over two nights at Parsley Hay in the Peak District,

It is 100 x 300 second exposures. It was stacked and stretched in Pixinsight, and post processed in PS with TopazAI Denoise.

According to some studies AI could take 300 million jobs from people....

To put that into context, there are 280 million or so people in the EU and 330 odd million in the US....

Frightening eh????

DONE IT!!!

I think AI is a catastrophically bad idea....

Things are bad enough now with making humans lazy. This will just turn us into useless slabs of flab!!

As for using it for to teach it ftom our skill is a gargantuan FECK OFF!!! from me. Social media made working as a photographer fun. Lots of people sending or tagging images via it, to people I worked for was a pain in the arse! I even lost clients because of it. This wll kill it for guys doing commercial photography.....

Because we all know, companies will jump at the chance off getting all their images for next to nowt. Potentially killing off the industry.
