The wonders of image processing
The Helix nebula processed in 2 ways:
On the Left, LRGB with a little Ha enhancement.
On the Right, S2-Ha-O3 Mapped as RGB
In Both images the stars are natural colored RGB
The Horsehead nebula - Hydrogen Alpha processed in Black and White
On the Right, The outcome after stacking
On the Left, Same image after delicate detail processing
​
M 45 with a Canon DSLR
On the Right, The outcome after stacking.
On the Left, Same image after full color and detail processing

The Horsehead nebula
On the Right, The outcome after stacking and processing of the Ha channel
On the Left, Same image after full color and detail processing coloring the Right image
This is a six (6) panel mosaic taken over 3 years!!!
With careful image processing you can't see the transitions between the frames
With the skills you will learn - terrestrial pictures can also benefit...

in these examples - On the Right - the original outcome from the camera (Iphone 6)
