New Horizons: Pluto

[PortalHunter]

We don't actually have any visual images of extrasolar planets AFAIK. What we have are observations of wobbling stars that indicate the presence of a massive body or bodies orbiting them. So more detection by inference than by direct observation.

Direct imaging is possible, but, as you said, it's not really a visual image worth looking at for aesthetic reasons.

Searching up images for directly imaged exoplanets turn up some pretty interesting results.

In the OA verse, though, there's the Golden Tower Builder ruins, imaged all the way from the Andromedia Galaxy. I don't see why not some (very?) lucky telescopic imaging, transapient analysis and a lot of enhancing wouldn't be enough to get some half-decent images.
