Very many years ago I knew someone who could talk for hours/days/months/... on what audio gear sounded more natural. One day I asked what live performance he last attended. None any, ever!
Amateur imaging astrobuffs can argue over whose image is a more mauvy shade of pinky-russet ad nauseam. If you look up at M42 under good conditions you may see a very slightly pinky patch. if you were transported right up close what would you see? A very slightly pinky everything. Actually biology will intervene and so a less very slightly pinky everything. A human astrophotographer near M42 would likely compla*in about the bad light pollution ma*king images too red and foggy.
Astrophotography can be used to record scientific data or produce pretty pictures. Realistic pictures, from a human perspective, are boring.
