I love looking at the beautiful images taken by the world class experts on IIS. They are stunning but sometimes suffer from the restrictions of the equipment used.
What the eye lacks in sensitivity it more than makes up for in dynamic range. M42 to me through my 10" dob with an ES 20mm 68 eyepiece looks fantastic. I can see all the bright stars in the trapezium AND the nebulosity and details in the fish mouth region. Astro images show more detail but the bright stars are always blown out.
NGC 2070 is a fantastic complex visual object. I have seen some great sketches but not many great images. Images of NGC 2070 to me look like beautiful abstract art, not at all the fantastic object I see through my eyepiece.
