I feel you bumped into what every astro photographer learns early on. An image straight off the camera is (16 bit image) from 0 - black, to 65575 - white. A computer screen (or printer) is 8 bit 0 - black, to 255 - white. All the data is in your camera image, it just has to gently stretched to make it visible.
oops, Gary beat me to it.
