A wide-field star field with a couple of open clusters visible (can you spot the Pleiades - M45 - and the Hyades near Aldebaran?) — a reminder of how much a 14mm lens can still pull out of a dark sky without a telescope.

Gear notes

A Nikon D5300 with a 14mm wide lens on a plain tripod — no tracking mount, no telescope. 25 second exposure, ISO 400, f/2.8. If you've got any DSLR and a wide lens, this is genuinely replicable from a dark-enough back garden.
