You are probably right about the astronaut pictures--I don't know how
a computer-manipulated astronaut with lunar rover and lander could be
made to look natural like that.  There are also pictures of the shuttle
taking off and an astronaut spacewalk and an overhead shot of the shuttle
over Earth that could have been pasted together from sequential frames.

The deep-sky objects must have been computer-manipulated.  The planets could
be a mixture of computer-manipulation (the ones where I see the circular
cross-sections making up the spheres) or sequential images from planetary
probes (there is a nice, if exaggerated, one of the surface of Jupiter with
swirls and valleys).

Thanks for your comments,
