This really does it for me - the best APOD image i have ever seen
 I am in total awe of todays APOD
I have seen some very deep shots of this area and even had a hack at trying to get my own but this image for me is absolutely awesome. The depth and detail is breathtaking. Probably not perfect but i can look past its flaws and just admire the whole area - sublime

That's a work of art - inspirational stuff.
That is my idea of widefield.
Benchmark stuff.

A treat for the eyes.

It would be interesting to see the rest of the whole sky with this treatment.
I wonder if it is similar to this everywhere?

Quite an image, it would have taken quite a lot of photoshopping to compensate for the difference in luminosity of the various features.
