NEW PICTOR IMAGES
The site contains astronomy
photographs,
which are the best visible, if the computer
monitor is set to see all levels of brightness.
If the monitor is properly set up, you must see each
shade of gray separately.
If no, you must adjust
brightness and contrast of your monitor to achieve such
result.
Pay more attention to the darkest steps
- they
should be as dark as possible while you should be able to
distinguish them.
