That is all 110. I completed this quest on the Astronomyforum.net site a few years ago in three parts. This time around I simply organized them in numerical order and posted them.
Took 10 months to pull it together and all of the original posts were taken with the 8 inch
SCT and the
DSLR.
Thanks!

Nice job. Welcome to the group!
BTW, back in post #3, you have both the Lagoon and the Trifid labeled M20...
Well Done!
Cheers!

Good eye. Indeed that file was mislabeled, it is the Lagoon (M8) as you noted. I annotated the Flickr linked filename and the file itself to indicate that it is indeed the Lagoon. I had a much better version of M8 that I took subsequently that I included instead. This little effort reminded me of the journey and was fun to put in order.
Attached is a plate solve of the region for that frame.

Isn't it nice to know that after all that work putting them up, at least some of us took the time to actually look at the group?
Merry Christmas, to you and yours, John!

Great compilation John.
Not surprised it took 10 months!
