Total Exposure Time / Image Quality / Narrowband
Generally speaking the longer the total exposure time the higher the overall image quality. Each one of these thumbnail images has had basic images processing applied to produce a fair representation of what you can expect. When you work with the full resolution images you will notice the quality difference in the increased total exposure time. Access to narrowband images requires joining Plan-160 or higher as narrowband take a long time to capture.
