https://community.sony.ua/t5/general-chat/is-that-a-real-photo/m-p/1385134#M2596 <P>I was curious about that too to be honest.  So I looked it up yesterday and found this:</P><P><A target="_blank" href="http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question15.html">http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question15.html</A></P><P> </P><P>So it appears you can see other galaxies with the naked eye, from Southern Hemisphere (ie South Africa), without a moon and I guess it would also help without "light polution" as well.</P> Sat, 19 Oct 2013 13:13:25 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/general-chat/is-that-a-real-photo/m-p/1385134#M2596 Anonymous 2013-10-19T13:13:25Z Re: Is that a real photo?
