Messier Objects
I highly recommend a book on Charles Messier and the creation of this catalogue - Atlas of Messier Objects, 2008 by Ronald Stoyan.
Note: This gallery should be automatically sorted by Messier #.
IC1274-5 Gum75 & NGC6559 Nebula with IC4685 Dark Nebula and M8 Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius - 10/7/2015 (Processed stack)
Imaged at Perth Observatory site.
I'd first discovered this magnificent extended field beyond M8 Lagoon Nebula (bottom right) nearly a year before and was determined to gather a longer series of images this winter. This has turned out quite well but more light would have brought the noise level down a bit more.
