What Is The Farthest Object You've Ever Shot With Clarity?

[Sanjeev Nanda]

Primarily looking to see your astronomy pictures, but any long distance photography will do. I had posted a thread earlier, asking for people's photos of Jupiter and Saturn, and was positively amazed by the pictures people posted in response.
Me, being an amateur, a variety of lenses to see the cosmos. Until then, I'll be more than content seeing what you have to show.
Thanking everybody in advance!

My astro shots are generally disappointing. I have had a few of stars that are reasonably clear but not great images & while I've managed to record Jupiter's moons they were no more than pin pricks (with Jupiter itself over exposed).
I think the furthest I've manged with results I found in any way satisfying was the sun. Through very dark welding glass, I recorded sun spots that matched those seen by NASAs solar observatory for the same time. That's matched in general shape & location NOT clarity!

I have seen amateur shots showing Andromeda in fantastic clarity, I think that would be hard to beat for distance.

Saturn is my furthest with any ability to recognize it.
Shot with my Canon 500mm.

Ill have to dig into my archives, but I have a Milkyway shot taken in a deep rural area.

Ok, so it is only the Moon, but it was shot from the city, MAYBE hand held, on a T7i, 100-400mm, 2x teleconverter making this a whopping 1280mm...at f 11. I shot this last week.

I've captured the Orion Nebula with Celestron, also from the city, but that may not count and I'm very new to the telescope.
