Such an incredible likeness of the eyepiece view and not as sterile as a photograph. Sue French writes that one of the main differences between the views of these objects captured in photographic images and the view at the eyepiece is that in the eyepiece, you can better detect the incredible difference in stellar magnitudes between the faint and the brighter stars. Only a small fraction of the Airy disc is seen by the eye when looking at the faint pinpoints and it helps me to appreciate the awesome distances and differences in the stars.
