Scientific paper

The evolution of color astrophotography is discussed. In 1959, almost 100 years after James Clerk Maxwell's public demonstration of the feasibility of color photography, the first color photographs of objects beyond the solar system were published by Miller. Miller had a new and (at that time) amazingly rapid color reversal film with a camera speed of ASA 100. For many years, at that time, astronomers had been taking plates through three or more filters to measure the colors of stars. Characteristics and merits of monochrome plates versus color film are compared. Attention is given to problems of color printing, and the collection of spiral galaxies, known as the Sculptor group, with the NGC 253 and the NGC 2997.
