One last picture for trisd concerning the measurement of brightness in astronomy

Of course the problem comes when any number of people are not in agreement. While I respect the right of one and all to debate, discuss, whatever you call it, to great lengths, for me personally, I will devote no further energy to this thread or the one that preceded it - it's just a waste of time. I feel it has no bearing on the goals stated by DPReview for the "Astrophotography Talk" forum to be "the place to discuss the techniques and technology involved in capturing astronomical objects, and to share your astronomical images". The discussions on the two threads related to Olber's paradox would best be housed in an astrophysics forum. It seems like we have better things to do.

For the record, I have absolutely no ill-will or have intended any disrespect to others whose views may differ from mine on this or any other subjects.

Best Regards to All,
