This page will have our best attempts at Messier objects, at the moment our best attempts are not very good. Hopefully the quality will slowly increase.
M1-Crab Nebula
yes it is bad, but this is inspiration to do much better…
M3 – Globular Cluster in constellation of Canes Venatici
M5- Globular Cluster in constellation of Serpens
M13- Globular Cluster in Constellation of Hercules
M27 – Dumbell Nebula
The same data but now processed at 16 bit rather than 8 bit.
M42 – Orion Nebula
M42 Orion Nebula obtained by students, this one processed by Karan Solanki
M51 -Whirpool Galaxy
M56 – Globular Cluster in constellation of Lyra
I had to cut it because I discovered there was some dust on the CCD, I could have got a better exposure too.
M57 – Ring Nebula
M81 – Bode’s Nebula
Messier 81, about 5 times as far away as Andromeda.
M82 – Cigar Galaxy
not great but it is there
