Scientific Images I R Scientist
Didn't know whether to post this in /g/ or here. Since /g/ sucks and I am posting this for its artsy looks and not its informational value my guess is this is the better place.

Anyway, you guys seem to like heavily processed images from obscure equipment, so this should be a treat. The original is a picture of a star chart, taken with a trilinear line scan camera. The color image has been divided into HSB channels, and this is the colorized FFT of the saturation image. The vertical sinusoidal frequency component is giving me headaches, but you shouldn't worry about that for now. Sorry for babbling in geekish again. Just tell me if my artistic compass is totally fubar or if there is still hope for my quest to find the beauty in the data.

It would be nice if other /p/hotographers would post some more nice looking images with scientific or educational background.

It's pretty but this is a photography forum. Check with /ic/. I'm curious though on what a trilinear line scan camera is.

I like it, OP, it's beautiful and a little haunting, in a good way. Could you elaborate on the technical and scientific aspects of your post?

Scan camera: it scans the scene like a scanner.

Trilinear = three lines, presumably it makes three passes, the HSB the OP talked about it.
