Yeah, that's one of the biggest disappointments newcomers to amateur astronomy have when they compare photographs like that to almost most astronomical objects. Turns alot of people off.

It's like promoting the very partial lunar eclipse eclipse this weekend. It's so shallow even people aware it's happening won't be able to notice anything.
