Re: What's your thinking on this?

Also, although extended objects such as DSOs typically look better through
astrophotography, I don't think this applies to single stars. Single stars
look the best directly. Even the best photos tend to saturate the images of
stars, seriously altering their appearance and cluttering the pic. I think no
photo can capture the divine beauty of single stars as well as the eye does,
in any equipment, including the unaided eye.

To prove your point, I've never seen a photographic image that can come
close to a well-resolved view of a globular cluster. Photographic
stars turn into blobs and run together in a way that does not happen
visually.
