APOD 4.2 (The Milky Way Over Tenerife)

In this picture, you get a clear panoramic view of all the circumpolar constellations, as well as many of the spring constellations.  To give you an idea of just how dim the stars and galactic features actually are, that bright light illuminating the entire photo is the moon, which has been significantly overexposed in order to capture the dim light from the surrounding constellations.  Also, the band that covers the sky almost like a purple rainbow is half of our view of the galaxy we are currently traveling through: the Milky Way.
