This thread will begin my quest to document imaging all 110 objects in the Messier catalogue. I undertook this the first time back in 2014/15 using my 8 inch SCT and Canon D50. Not sure the easiest way to document, so I will pull it together piecemeal.
As much as we love you posting your images here on this forum, it is probably more appropriate to post them over at this forum "Messier Contest" -- "MessierAP Images". That way you get to post your images and get credit for them. Just start posting them over there and then link back to this page to see the ones you've already posted.
