I would like to collect several photos of each object using various mediums. These don't have to be professional level photographs so don't be shy! If we can capture photos showing what you see visually, all the better! Please list the following information with each photo: Your Full name Where you reside (Town and Country) Time and Date of the photo Equipment and processing used We respectfully request that all work be original. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve!

I would recommend building a FORUM for just this collection, and then building a thread for each of the messiers! That way all the images will be posted in the proper thread. At the end we could decide which images will make up the catalogue. You could make each of the threads sticky and not allow any new threads to be created. My opinion!

While I have no interest in ever getting into astrophotography, I can sure appreciate the effort put into creating these. My hat is off to everyone that has posted a picture in here. The opening post mentioned that pics of what is seen visually were encouraged, and I agree that this would be a great idea. It would be really cool to be able to review a visual representation of what to expect, and then go out and compare it for yourself. I hope that this project continues to completion.

Guiding was quite a chore. RA was done with a home made drive corrector. Dec adjstments were made by turning the slow motion knob on the fork arm! I had to keep reminding myself which way to turn the knob in order to correct the drift. I'm very happy with how it turned out since it was my first attempt at long exposure.

The camera, by the way, was mounted on my old, old 60mm refractor on an EQ-1 mount. Not much but better than I expected.

Mount is Atlas EQ-G, used two scopes, ED80, and 11" SCT. One used to guide, the other to image depending on the FOV required for the object. Exposure times vaied from 30 second subs for some clusters (10 minutes total), to several hours for some larger Nebula and fainter galaxies. Guide camera was Starshoot 1 with 0.5 focal reducer. Imaging camera was Rebel Modified for all objects except M1 and M94 (Starshoot was used for there). Guiding software was PHD, images acquired and processed with Nebulosity. Resized and touched up with Elements 5.0. The image quality on the screen is not too great due to the size limitation of 105K file limit, but you get the idea. I was mostly limited by weather over the last year since it rains al lot here. Also, I had to waituntill now to catch a glimpse of M68 and M83, the last 2 to fall.
