I tested Vespera's "panorama" mode, it allows you to explore a much wider sky than Vespera's original field of view. The Vespera benefits from the ability to capture images at a higher resolution than the sensor resolution, up to 8.2 megapixels thanks to the mosaic mode.

I cropped the image a bit because the original was from such a wide area
