bunch of Messier galaxies

[BABOafrica]

I've been doing the Messier challenge. I managed to get the first 80 Messier objects. Last few nights I got four more but the moon made things a bit tricky. At least I was able to get out of the city.

Anyway, here are the best two -- and as things stand now, I only need three more to finish off the 110 objects.

M88

23 x 120s C8 SCT on EQ-G with Fuji X-A1 (modded) @iso6400 Bortle 5 site

M100

37 x 60s s C8 SCT on EQ-G with Fuji X-A1 (modded) @iso6400 Bortle 5 site

Great captures, good luck on the remaining 3. I doubt that I am even half way there.

Congrats on almost completing the Messier list. That has to be tough living so close to the equator. I'm guessing the few Messier objects in Ursa Major and Cassiopeia had to be low on the horizon for you?

Hello Joe. A nice pair of spiral galaxies in your M88 and M100 images. And, it looks like you caught NGC 4312 in the upper right hand corner of the M100 capture too. Thanks for posting these on here Joe, and keep up the great work.

Awesome Babo!

Three ought to be doable since you already have acquired 107! Impressed!!!!!

Well done Joe. Some nice details in the primary galaxies despite the moon. As Marshall indicated you also scooped up NGC 4312 at the far right edge of the field for M100, plus NGC 4322 to the left of M100 and NGC 4328 just below M100 as well. Fine images indeed.
