Description

This is the time-ordered set of images from my Messier Marathon on the night of March 26-27, 2019. I managed to get all 110 objects in 100 images. I started with 3 minutes of integration with the first 20 or so objects, then I moved to 4 minutes integration as I started getting ahead of schedule. All are stacked from 10- or 30-sec subs. The exception is M30, which is one highly-stretched and enhanced sub taken when the object was 4° above the horizon in growing twilight. And as you'll note, it was in between two tree limbs!
