It's funny how the camera changes things... my first telescope view was just a gray smudge. All that color really comes from stacking and processing the data later. Makes you wonder what our eyes are missing out there.

Honestly, my old boss was obsessed with the machine extraction wands too. Tbh I bought into the hype for a while because it looked so professional.
