One method uses the photo you actually took as the base and enhances from that. The other method used a random old picture of the moon from elsewhere and copypastes details of that onto your photos.

The distinction is significant, as for one of them your photo is the sole source of truth, while for the other it just "inserts" the image from elsewhere into your own photo. The former is expected, but the latter is not.

It's the same as the difference between enhancing a photo of yourself by doing some color/light processing or upscaling/sharpening using AI vs. "enhancing" by getting Brad Pitt's eyes and Angelina Jolie's nose copypasted onto a photo of your own face.
