Why there should be more or less science in Photographic testing than atmospheric observation i don't know. Scientific tests are based on Scientific METHOD. That method is either applied correctly or it is not. 1. Observe some aspect of the universe. 2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that is consistent with what you have observed. 3. Use the hypothesis to make predictions. 4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations and modify the hypothesis in the light of your results. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no discrepancies between theory and experiment and/or observation. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
