The above formula is not a unique one. We tested several alternatives and selected the one with optimal differences in colour representations of different emission scenarios we have. The first idea was to use for projection point the centre of the triangle in the ℓ R − ℓ G plots. However, it resulted in an orange scent for most of the possible colours. Subsequently, we selected � � = 0.42 and � � = 0.39 as the central projection point based in a manual trial and error procedure. We note that with an extended database of imaging sky radiance observations, a different and more optimal transformation can be derived. To obtain the extended (FCE) sRGB coordinates from camera data, we estimated the conversion matrix by applying the standard CIE x-y to sRGB conversion matrix. Then we fitted the final dsu colour ( ℓ R , ℓ G , ℓ B ) to sRGB transformation on the learning set. For the natural sky, it provides an image that is close to the astrophotographer approach, but by further colour enhancement. It should be noted that it is a false colour representation of the night sky, but with a well defined procedure. In contrast to FCE, the manual colour enhancement used by astrophotographers does not have an exact definition and it varies from image to image.

it’s normal to feel stressed when listening to a high playback speed. It’s a sign that your brain is trying to adapt. You’ll get used to the high speed with time, and it will take you a shorter amount of time to move from one level to another the more you practice.
