Thing is, Jase, with SHO colour mapping is that, when done well, you're tracing the distribution of HII (as Ha), SII and OIII in the object you're looking at. That way, you can tell the chemical evolution of the nebula plus any stars/remnants which maybe linked to that nebula. Yes, they are artistic, but I wouldn't expect nature to be anything otherwise. NB pics just bring that out...and so do traditional RGB when done well.
