I have completed the MessierAP challenge for 80 images. Some of these objects I had to push my telescope to the visual limit to photograph. As a result, some are dimmer than others.
I will post all my images, but it will take multiple posts, so bear with me.

M2 Globular Cluster
M3 Globular Cluster
M4 Globular Cluster
M5 Globular Cluster
M6 Butterfly Cluster
M7 Ptolemy Cluster
M8 Lagoon Nebula
