Wide Field

These are photographs using camera lenses, rather than telescopes. Instead of the field of view being a fraction of a degree, the field of view in these shots is anywhere from a few degrees (with a telephoto lens) to over 90 degrees using a super wide angle lens. In some of the shots, a camera lens is attached to the very sensitive astronomical camera.
