Astronomical photography is an excellent school. You must pay attention
to printing manipulation AND worth printings. To resolution AND
tonality. To camera, or most generally to optical quality, AND how to
use it. 
It's a long chain, and many excellent challengers are on the start line.
Between deep sky objects and Sun coronography, generations of
photographers have pushed technics and art of photography at very high
levels.
