I can kind of see what you mean, but I wonder if this is actually a result of the subject, not processing. The night sky is absolutely peppered with pinpoints of light far smaller than individual image pixels (resolvable stars) which are quite unlike typical terrestrial scenes.
- platz 6y agoThe effect seems to be more noticeable in the areas filled with gas. I'm not saying that stars aren't pinpoints or sometimes are just single pixles, but just it overall looks like some post-sharpening has definitely been applied aggressively to my eye.
- foo_barrio 6y agoLooking at this pic of the Orion nebula it looks like even the smoothest, darkest areas have tons of stars in them: * https://orion2020v5b.spaceforeverybody.com/ https://orion2020v5b.spaceforeverybody.com/ This is also a much smaller area of the sky. The higher acuity of the image might actually be more representative of what the telescope actually sees. The smooth darkness you are used to seeing might be similar to how some people prefer music where the treble rolls off (like tube amps or sennheizer 650s headphones) vs people preferring a more linear freq response.
- platz 6y agowell, the orion image you linked doesn't look like it's been over-sharpened, in contrast to the OP image. I'm not saying there's a way to tell just by eyeballing it, but that's what it smells like.
