Messier Image List
March 13, 2010
Imaging all 110 Messier objects in one night.
A previous attempt is here.
This year I'll be using a C-14 on a Paramount ME with an SBig STL-1001E camera.
Most images are between 1 and 5 minutes in length using a V filter. No guiding was done.
Final count, 102/110, for 92.7%
(a + indicates there is an image, a -, no image)
M40 +
M105 (NGC3379, NGC3389 and NGC3371 also in field) +
Clouds started to come in at 4:00am.
M13 (Hercules Globular Cluster) +
Clouds are mostly gone.
After m69, the sky was too bright to finish.
