Updated Progress with My Messier Chart - added in 2017

[Stub Mandrel]

Still lots missing and some really 'orrible images in there, but I'm slowly filling the gaps and replacing some of the lemons. Many are over-saturated or over processed. The open clusters also look a bit crummy when they are tiny.

I'd recommend making one of these to any imager, just to keep track and to show you how your skills improve - also it gives you a motivation to try harder on some of the smaller less spectacular objects. It's the low ones in Sagittarius that really elude me - I can't do them from home.

If anyone spots a mistake, PLEASE tell me!

Great idea. Some nice images there! Well done!   I was planning to do the same some day, but may try to get some Messier images done soon. I’ll give it a whirl anyway!

Have this planned since I found an old HDD with about 10 messiers on it last week.

Hi Neil,

Looking good. Hope you don't mind, but great minds, etc, etc...

I added numbers to help me place new ones in the grid when I get them, then also started to add constellations to help me know when I could shoot the missing ones, but that got a bit tiresome so I gave up on that...

Cheers, Geof

Good work Neil and Geof.

Not at all, it's great to see someone else's.

Nice one Neil - A great record of your Messier achievements

you're both doing better than mine...i made the chart, added six to it and then promptly forgot about it until i happened upon it again 2 weeks ago.  Will follow this thread and see if i can catch up ;-)

Great idea!

Trouble is, at the rate I manage to complete images it would take as many years as there are Messiers.
