The size (said to be roughly equivalent to 9 full moons) - raises an interesting challenge. It would be great to have an app/program capable of displaying a wide-field sky view with deep space objects such as Vela /Orion Lagoon, Trifid, Pliedes etc at scale. I saw an Andromeda once but imagine if these all these objects could be made visible and to scale. It would be a mind-blower I think.
