They look different according to the person as well, and your experience in perceiving the night sky. And according to the intensity of the event of course.
Just the act of taking a photo trains your brain to interpret what your eyes see.
And it depends on the night. Moonlight really helps (especially for video). Most people only share the super bright phase, which is best easy to take in. A soft glow on the horizon not so much :)
