If you were in a spacecraft at the right point in space, could you look out the window and see, for example, the Horsehead Nebula as it appears in that famous photo?

Question

Or would different light wavelengths etc render it invisible/completely different from how we recognize it from our space photography (for want of a better term)?

Answer 1

No, the famous picture of the horsehead nebula was captured in near IR, not visible light. Most light from distant objects are too far red shifted to be captured in the visible light spectrum, though Hubble is capable of capturing light and UV as well.
