M31 - Andromeda Galaxy
Have I shot this one loads of times? Yes. Does it matter? No! Andromeda is always a treat and every time I shoot it it gets a little better. This time it's with the Zenithstar 66 which can bring in the entire thing and have it framed nicely with some space around it as opposed to the ED103S which crams it in there and cuts off the very outer edges.
