I found this the other day when I was following links off the main page. Not sure how exactly I ended up at the Parkes Observatory article, but the image caught my attention and I clicked on it for an explanation of the subject matter. As it turns out this image is already featured on the commons, so I figured 'what the heck' and decided to let it ride here for a chance at an FP star.

Support — Beautiful image, obviously a scan from a high-quality transparency (i.e. "film", if you've ever heard of that... ;-) --Janke | Talk 11:02, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I've been shooting the sky for 40 years, and I promise you it has never been that color unless I was watching a Star-Wars movie. This photo has been color enhancedPocketthis (talk) 16:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting point. Could it be old-school color enhancement? perhaps a graduated color filter was used at the time, or perhaps the film transparency aged over time (I doubt it was scanned from print). If I am not wrong the windows show both florescent and incandescent lighting, also there is the moon, kind of interesting when thinking of enhancements.

Probably reciprocity failure in the different color emulsions, or, otherwise, different rate of fading of the film dyes. Long exposures sometimes give weird colors on film. Doesn't bother me, though. --Janke | Talk 19:29, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
