Messier Imaging Project - Completed at last!!!

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Hi Robert,
He took all of them either in Singapore or at our usual obs site in Mersing Malaysia where light pollution is notably lesser than anywhere here in Singapore. Its about 3-4 hrs drive from Singapore...
cheers

observant as usual, arief! :-)
btw, I noticed that Matt did not upload an image for Mercury. I remember seeing it as a crescent with him in Mersing some time back...can't remember if his LX90 had ran out of juice as it was in the morning....

I wonder what is his next project....Planets in all shapes, seasons and sizes complete with moons ? :-)

Great work Matthew, looks like a poster you might want to frame up. But do check your M102 first. I think it should look like this : http://www.seds.org/~spider/ngc/ngc.cgi?m102
