M37 2min exposure. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

Longer exposure of M35. But NGC2158 is gorgeous! All the stars are a beautiful golden colour. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

10 second exposure of M35 as well as neck 2168. #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography

M1 The Crab Nebula - the fuzzy object that caused Charles Messier to begin cataloguing fuzzy thing that weren’t comets. It’s also the only supernova in the Messier catalogue.

The whispy tendrils you can see are the remains of the atmosphere of the star that blew up. It’s expanding at 0.5% the speed of light. #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography

10 seconds of M1 #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography Going to collect a decent amount of photons here.

And 10 seconds of M78. M78 is hard. Seen it visually but it takes a good dark night for that. Will capture a few more photons whilst I get a brew. But I got a decent view of it a short while back, so will move on to the next target after another cuppa. #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography

Five mins of M42 and M43 #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography

Next up a twofer in the #Messier #Madness M42 and M43 The Great Orion Nebula. 10 second shot. Always a wow. Unless you are in the southern hemisphere in which case you are spoiled by the tarantella nebula. And many other sights! #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography

And here is M45. Not a great image. Seestar really struggled to do the mosaic. Wonder if it needs levelling again? Anyhoo. #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

And here’s a longer capture of M34. Some lovely star colours. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

Tada! M34 10 secs near live view #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography

Ten mins of M76. A lovely jewel. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

Because here we have M76 The Little Dumbell Nebula. Again just 10 seconds of light here. Collecting more of this. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

Oh WOW! Caldwell 11 The Bubble Nebula. What a stunning object it is. Again, about 5 mins of photons here. Spectacular! #Astrophotography #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 oh yeah. M52 up at the top.

And 5min of M110 all by itself. It’s pretty. Well tonight it’s the star of this particular photo. #Astrophotography #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50

And here’s 10 seconds of M110 Centre stage without Andromeda stealing all the glory. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

And here we have 10 seconds of The Andromeda Galaxy! M31 plus special friend M32 #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
