I think it's an excellent idea. One of the problems is that lots of people think they will see exactly what they see on TV and in books when they first look through the eyepiece. I think this may put a few people off the hobby or make them think that the usual astro images are of something that doesn't actually exist, when it actually does, it is just that the human eye is, well, almost blind! I would love to know what an animal like an Eagle sees when they look at the night sky, assuming they do. Maybe you should start a whole series and put in some shots of M42 (wrong thread I know) and clusters as well as the Moon, Saturn etc.
Sometimes I wish someone had produced a book of images that are what you would see through a scope and forget about the highly processed images. Sort of WYSIWYG if you like. Perhaps with images from 4, 6, 8 and 10 inch scopes to show how much more you will see. Maybe you could try stopping down your scope and take a series of Jupiter at the same scale, but different apertures to show the benefits of a larger bucket.
