Description

Part of my Messier project: as many Messier objects as visible from my observatory with the same telescope, same camera, same exposure (10s x 60s), same orientation (north up), basic image processing.  Some objects are very low above the horizon and I will not be able to image all Messier objects from my observatory as they are too low above the horizon.

The diagonal banding is caused by a high tension power line as this object is very low over the horizon.
