Oh you can see many more starts, milky way is more clear etc that was not the point. I don't have much different setup (Nikon D750 + 20mm 1.8 which is actually a bit bigger glass than yours), but when you take picture from camera, its completely different from what you typically find presented from amateurs and pros alike.

The difference is that ridiculous amount over-processing, literally re-painting parts of picture ie to add more contrast to milky way. Once you know what goes inside making of such a picture, as a photographer you can't have much respect there, I know I can't.

Its same as celebrities with unnaturally smooth plasticky skin - when you know how they look like in real life even with tons of makeup, those shots over-processed on top of that look just cheap and bad taste.

You do not understand neither photography, nor astrophotography.

Next you will have a disdain for JWST, becuase we do not see IR.

I have the unfortunate duty to inform you that you are incorrect in all your statements and assumptions
