Just the moon in Pisces. It's tiny, but the high res still shows more detail than the average eye can make out.

The bright "stars" below the moon are Jupiter and Venus.
In the high res, you can make out 3 of Jupiter's moons!
This is almost impossible with the naked eye.

Orion. In the low res, you can hardly see any stars.
In the high res, stars as faint as 9th magnitude can be seen.
And this from some seriously light polluted skies!
