They actually are. No difference between a dove and a pigeon other than which we decided look classy enough to be a dove.

So many parking apps, but also I installed my third pharmacy app today. And I have 6 different 2FA apps.

Pleiades is the image that taught me the trick to a better image is time. You can look through my history of images here to see how more integration time brought out more detail.

I intentionally used an old photo for this example, as it was with a regular DSLR and telescope.
JWST and Hubble images are the same, though for theirs, the color is "mapped" to different channels to represent space in a more pleasing way.

But there is definitely color in space!

A bit more cleanup, and you get a final image. The color was there, just brought out by a combination of taking lots of photos, and increasing them.

Finally, you "stretch" it, taking the existing color, and "turning it up".

You then use that software to balance out the background, remove some noise, and generally clean up the image.

But, if you take that one photo again and again, you can "stack" them. AKA, combine them to make one total photo.
Yes, this is done with software, but it's just "adding up" the light from each picture.

First, a simple image. Taken with a small telescope (aka, big camera lens, really. 71mm diameter) and a regular old DSLR. I took a (fairly long) photo. This was a couple minutes, and is more or less right out of the camera. Sky and stars. Like our eyes see.
And a faint fuzzy bit.

It does not take a hubble or james web to pick up color in a nebula. A regular old DSLR and a smallish telescope can. Sometimes they're remapped, other times they're "visual", and they're "stretched" with software. But it's just just "made up with photoshop" - it may be faint, but space is colorful.

That was such a fun weekend. Fond memories of it.
