Red vs orange

Ahh yes, good point. The actual emitted frequency...
Well, I guess it makes sense that the camera-makers and film-makers spend much money on the color-science behind all this equipment we use
It's interesting stuff, but probably getting a bit too geeky to continue discussing at this point for those of us who are merely laymen in this field
Anyway, I guess the quest for better images will always be ongoing.

Thanks to all who participated in this thread.

If anyone want's to see what a totally pure red looks like, if you ever get the opportunity to peer through a Hydrogen Alpha filter or SII filter (similar wavelength) you'll suddenly see (if the light source is bright enough.. it looks pretty dark).

First time I did it, I commented my eyes had run out of gamut!

After that even blood looks bright orange.

Haha I'll make a wish for an astronomy-camera, or at least an astronomy filter-set, for Christmas then
Well, I guess it's good to know there's still room for improvement in our photo-technology (that way I don't have to take all the heat for bad pictures )
