I could not find a category to fit my question.
I am a retired scientist (Biochemist by training) who has been doing astrophotography with some commitment for over 6 years. My question is not about citizen science, but rather about generating interesting astro images from the LSST initiative as public outreach. Certainly at the public level, to generate images that are appealing and also able to communicate the scale and structure of the visible universe. For a couple of years now, I have started to pursue a rather simple, but I feel effective way to visualize the universe beyond the Milky Way that may be able to do so. I will include three links from recent image/written publications that should help with getting my point across: 1. (https://app.astrobin.com/i/gkudu5) 2. (https://app.astrobin.com/i/yuk07l) 3. (https://app.astrobin.com/i/vzjzvr).
I am reaching out to learn more about any collaborative groups that will have specific interests that may overlap my interests. If it were not possible to have access to actual image data files to work with, then I would ask if there might be some other aspect of being involved in such a collaborative working group. At this point, I have not looked into how to access data (if access were granted), what format the image files are , etc. So I will leave these questions as simple as possible at this point.
Just to add, while I am asking about image processing and presentation, I am also a lifelong enthusiast about all thing astronomical, astrophysical, etc. I do a fair amount of reading of primary literature on questions that I run across, or generate within my explorations and photography. That said, at this time, I do not have an interest in the Citizen Science initiative, unless, of course, my questions above fall within the scope of that.
