    I know this is still technically a false color shot, but I personally much prefer astronomy photos that kinda-sorta look like something you’d see with the naked eye to the ultra saturated and spectroscopically “labeled” photos that we see so often.

      Agreed, though I only posted this one as a comparison to the ostensibly “true colour” shot of the same galaxy to provide a sense of what we can’t see with our eyes.
