[APML]: Art or Science

Hello

I would like to get your feedback from any or all of you about
Astrophotography.

Is it Art or Science. Is it the Art of Science or Artistic Science? Are
you  an Artist?

I got into a huge debate at the studios about this. I defended
astrophotography as an art form which focused on scientific subjects. I
was told it was just science.

Also, if the art community feels it is science, are they wrong? Does
some of this very outstanding work deserve to be displayed in a
Gallery??

Thanks very much, and of course, take care out there.
