If anybody at NASA is reading, please make the original FITS / raw files for things more accessible. There's too much of a chasm between rendered images which are quickly and freely shared with the public, and with the kafkaesque

Well in the GL/Vulkan world there's finally functionality now in recent years for printf output from shaders, which finally fixes the issue. I'd assume DirectX probably also has something similar but I don't work with it

No offense, but why did you decide to write an instructional article about a topic that you "wouldn't be surprised that you misunderstand"? Why are you trying to teach to others what you admittedly don't have a very soli
