I am just wondering why when people post pics of nebula and galaxies they make them so detailed and colourful? I know that alot will say that is what they look like etc, but it gives false impressions of what people will see through a telescope. I find it a little frustrating, I see some pics that people post and think how nice it would be to try and view it through my telescope only to find a grey fuzzy patch with little detail. I'm not complaining, I think some of the pics are stunning but I would also like to see some pics of nebulas and galaxies like they are seen through an eyepice and not processed to have heaps of colour.
