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

And here’s 10 seconds of M74 just a bit over to the right of M77. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography

I’ll collect some more photons here as well.
