Re: MESSIER QUEST
Took 10 months to pull it together and all of the original posts were taken with the 8 inch
Thanks!

Re: MESSIER QUEST
BTW, back in post #3, you have both the Lagoon and the Trifid labeled M20...
Well Done!

Re: MESSIER QUEST
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?JohnP_1 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 24, 2019 2:07 am 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.
Merry Christmas, to you and yours, John!
