Flickr user FlintstoneStargazer captured all 110 of the Messier Objects between March 7th and August 6th this year. They have all been compiled into a big mosaic.
I have been experimenting with astrophotography from my current, dark location in the south of France. However I am stuck and need some help in both taking and then processing the images. I know there are loads of photographic astronomers out there – I need you!
