I have shot many targets with several focal lengths.
Due that, I'm able to publish some of my material as an image sets, with different field of view and detail levels.
The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely by this way and it will make the orientation more easy.

Many times, it's difficult to understand the image scale of astronomical images.
I have added a Moon circle in the images to show the angular scale in a sky. The full Moon has a size of ~30 arc minutes, that's equal to ~0,5 degrees.

Please, use a full screen and click the image, to see them as large as possible!

An excellent concept. It's very nice to have a visual scale to frame the object. This helped me to distinguish between visual magnitude and visual size. Well Done.
