Here is a pleasant survey on aesthetics and astonomy. I put it in GD instead of the astronomy thread because I think the point of the survey is to try and reach outside of the scientific community for aesthetic advice on the presentation of astronomical images.

That was interesting. I have often wonder if those people who have never known about color enhanced astronomy, would think that's what these things really look like.
I spent a bit of time trying to explain that to a friend who sent me a color blasted Hubble photo.
