Hello

Is astronomical image processing done in a linear space or a gamma
space?

Normally in linear space, Mike - because you are primarily interested in
physical quantities and their quantitative results.

After that has been achieved, the representation for human consumption
is created - either from the source data or the processed data depending
on the objective required.

Hello

Is the same true for imaging from spacecraft, interplanetary or
otherwise or is gamma encoding done before transmission?
