Sadly not as I exclusively practice visual astronomy.

Here is a nebula, NGC7000, drawn by an excellent observer, which appears that way (very wide field, but a bit dimmer than their drawing) :

My advantage despite the low diameter is the ability to frame such huge objects !

I believe he means that he does not do astrophotography. So no photos to share
