Where the photographs come from

The AR view draws {{ total }} deep-sky objects as real photographs rather than outlines, all of them from the Stellarium project's nebula texture set. Every one is credited below, with the licence it carries.

What was done to them

The same modification for every image, stated once: cropped to the object, resized, converted to WebP, and given a soft alpha falloff at the edges so it sits against the sky rather than reading as a rectangle. No astrometric change: each photograph is placed at the true position and size the source data gives it.
