M31 in it's natural habitat.
Looks great this wide doesn't it. Really puts it into perspective.

Tony,

Agreed with Jeanette, I can never get over how huge that object is.

I had the pleasure of viewing it in binoviewers down at Border Stargaze on the one clear night that we had (whilst my stuff was imaging NGC 2070).

Well done, again. :)
