Even with all of the lights off yours eyes will not be able to pick up the detials shown in the photograph. It would be nice if the poster of the Astronomy Picture of the Day would give some information about how the photo ws taken; like what kind of camera took it and the exposure time of the photo. Was film used or CCD. Size of the lens or telescope, magnification etc.
