But I’ve looked into the night sky with and without a telescope and have never seen those colors. Therefore I don’t like the colors. The images show them but my eyes don’t.

That's very odd. I was just out last night under beautiful dark Arizona skies and was able to clearly see blue, reddish, gold, and orange stars with the unaided eye as well as through my telescope.

My eyes aren’t the greatest, but I can sometimes see variations in color without a telescope.

I can see that too. You’re correct, there’s color in our heavens. But while I don’t mind the angular magnification of a telescope, I just don’t care for the coloration. Maybe I’m prejudiced toward those beautiful black and white photos taken years ago by the large telescopes.
