This photo of andromeda wasn’t yet stretched but I was just working on it. 😂 it spans out further than captured here but not much further. -
comparing the size of deep sky objects

It’s cool but that’s not the right size. The largest object would be m31. The width would just fit in between two of the 3 stars in Orion’s Belt if visible with the naked eye that’s it. Or for another perspective the Orion Nebula (in the sword including running man and the star cluster is about as wide but m42 would be wider top to bottom than m31 just not as long. 😂
