Below are the Messier Objects that I have imaged. Some of the pictures were imaged with SC1 modified Philips ToUCam 740K webcam. Other pictures were imaged a variety of cameras including a SAC7 CCD camera and a Canon Digital Rebel DSLR. Almost all of the images were taken in the observatory on the 12" LX200GPS at f/3.3. I am always added to this page as I hope within the next 2 years to complete this page.
