An interesting comparison
I was looking at my FSQ album thumbnails and realised my set of images captured so far with this new outfit are all un-cropped full frame 4deg X 4deg field images, so you can compare the relative sizes of the objects I have imaged so far...just thought it was cool
The Carina Nebula doesn't look that huge now and the seagull is really quite big...

I know what you mean, sometimes I prefer wider fields of open clusters as it helps give them a place in the universe

I was just looking at the relative sizes of each object, that's all, not how big the field was, we don't often think much about it
Mozaics?...
...
did someone mention mozaics ...

5 new versions of M42, Simon
PS. Interesting comparison, Mike. I love how easy and stress free things are at 3.5 arcsec/pixel too!
