This isn't a spectacular shot until you look at how it was taken. It's taken using a wide field 80mm F/6 refractor, with slide flim. I've included this to show what's possible, of course it isn't a good image from the perspective of sprial detail, etc.
Camera:Pentax SP1000
Aperture:80mm (F/6)
Date:April 2003
