Es scheint das beste Bild zu sein, das wir von einem Exoplaneten haben, aber wie bei vielen von ihnen sieht es eher so aus, als wäre es überbelichtet und übersättigt, als wie es eigentlich aussehen sollte (ich verstehe, wahrscheinlich keine Priorität für die Astronomen). Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie man Bilder bearbeitet, aber es scheint etwas zu sein, das man beheben kann.

Is it possible to improve the image of Epsilon Indi A b?

Nearly 12 light years away and you want it to be a perfect image that looks exactly like an iPhone photograph of the house next door? You think the images released aren’t as good as they can possibly get them? Do you expect to make out individual features on the surface? Resolution down to the sub-meter level like an orbiting spy satellite?
Most deep space images aren’t really anything you can just look at and see anything detailed. Every pixel represents hundreds of kilometers at distances like that. The image linked is from a mid-infrared camera, converted to appear in colors we can see. What defines “overexposed and oversaturated” when the original isn’t even visible to us? Any modifications in that aspect are to an arbitrary degree just so we have something to look at, with computers doing the real analysis these days, and anything to make it how it should “actually look” as you put it would be just artistic rendering.
