The image doesn't want to be what we exactly have to see throught our eyepiece. It only wants to give us an idea of what are the shapes of every single deepsky object.
Just enter the parameters of the instruments. The image will be returned at the nearest magnification that our eyepiece can do, to get the maximum detail of the DSO.

for example: for me in Orion, it shows the horsehead (dark nebula) in detail, and that is not even visible through my scope.(IMHO)
But it is a wonderful tool nonetheless.
