This is quite a way from being a good idea. These kind of pictures are
equally well taken from the ground. There is no need to take "nice" pictures
from Hubble. Of course NASA has to take some pictures to satisfy the mass
media, but in the long run everyone is better off getting pictures from
ground based telescopes. They can be at least as pretty,  the general public
won't appreaciate Hubbles qualities as much as astronomers do.

Hubble's costed more than enough money, using it for purposes it's not designed
to do will only make things worse.
