Photo Messier Marathon 2008 - COMPLETE

I captured all 110 of the Messier Objects between March 7 and August 6, 2008 as a Photo Messier Marathon. Note that I've placed M110 in the 0,0 position so that I didn't have to add another row.

Each image was taken using a Meade DSI II Color attached to an LXD75 SN-8 and consists of 15 x 15s images stacked in Envisage and leveled in Photoshop.

Thanks for the compliments.

I only get paid in the pleasure I receive from taking astrophotos and sharing my love of astronomy. While it would be wonderful to be paid (I could afford better equipment!), there are too many truly great astrophotographers out there right now for me to try to compete in that world. Frankly, right now is an amazing time for amateur astrophotographers because the cost of equipment keeps getting lower and the capabilities keep getting higher.

Really a lot of both. Over the past year I've averaged viewing and astrophotography almost every other day. My Messier project took a lot of persistence more than anything.
