Well, to be fair, one's target does not necessarily have to accommodate artistic sensibilities...for example a target could be a galactic nucleus, close-up of a spiral arm, or central portion or otherwise interesting morphological feature of a largish nebula. The "Pillars of Creation" in M16 is a good example. Matching the image scale on the chip to what you want to see is the most important aspect.

Too big of an object would be a bigger waste, I would keep the object size at about 80% of the field of view.
