They’re not mega saturated, they’re overexposed, which isn’t atypical when photographing at night. Most pictures you’d see of the milky way were captured this way.
I brought the brightness of the photo up for sure here so that it looks interesting and not dim/dull on your display.
I can tell you from experience though that we were able to see the red, blue, violet, green, and sometimes the yellow on the horizon unaided. Put simply, it was incredible and I wanted this photo to provide the same feeling.
Here’s a photo I transferred to my phone with the transfer app doing a simple jpeg conversion. 2.5 second exposure at ISO 5000, 36mm:
This is perhaps slightly brighter than what I recall seeing on the horizon.
Yeah these mega saturated pics are unbelievably disingenuous
It’s like one-upmanship of “the aurora I saw was way more colourful than the one you saw, you must be so jealous”
🤮

The original one containing every color of the fucking rainbow is definitely oversaturated
