Suppose you point your telescope at a distant object. Which of the following is not an advantage of taking a photograph of the object through the telescope as compared to just looking at the object through the telescope?

A) The photograph will have far better angular resolution than you can see with your eye. B) By using a long exposure time, the photograph can allow you to see objects that would be too dim to see with your eye. C) If taken with a camera with a sensitive detector such as a CCD, the photograph can capture a much larger percentage of the incoming photons than can your eye. D) The photograph provides a more reliable record of what is seen through the telescope than can a drawing made by eye.
