I think my point was simply to make sure that the OP and others were aware that
the beautiful color photos they see, many from the hubble, some from amateurs,
are not accurate reproductions of what they human eye would see. In the case
of amateur photos, the colors are probably mapped rather accurately but with a
wider/different band width. With the Hubble, the color/wavelength mapping is
arbitray with IR and UV mapped into the visual spectrum.
