# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=astrophotography+celestial-atlas
# Astrophotography carries the structure. Celestial Atlas appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Astrophotography (Technique, 1840–) and its accent from Celestial Atlas (Style, 17th–19th century). Structural cues: Long-exposure starfields; Images through instruments; Designed false color; The sublime of scale. Accent cues, used sparingly: Myth figures over stars; Concentric celestial structure; Gold and blue coloring; Ornamented cartouches. Composition: Set the object off center and let star density carry depth. Type and lettering: Name object, instrument and wavelength, and state the color assignment. Let one material quality come from the second style: Gold and hand color on deep blue, stars struck as engraved points. Mood: Exhilaration, Technology, Calm, Luxury. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 1823 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Astrophotography: Saturation and stretching get pushed for impact until no one can tell which part of the image is measurement and which part is presentation.
# - Celestial Atlas: Drawing the myth figures so large that the star positions vanish leaves a plate working neither as diagram nor as ornament.
