One of the things that I found most surprising when I was starting out was the size of some of the objects. There are some nebulae that are around the same angular size as the full moon - eta Carina etc. It just takes long exposures to make the full extent of them visible.

All will become clear when you start to take a few astrophotos rather than terrestrial photos!
