Two years ago I published a poster of my view of the
Top 100 Astrophotography Objects. This image is a slightly re-titled update of that effort.
The image is 12000 x 8000 and downloads at 32MB. I kept it large so that each object can be seen well in the full resolution view or if used as a desktop background. To keep the focus on the images, I did not label anything this time. For identification and a description of each object as well as the technical data of each image, please see my Astrobin collection
here. The collection images are sorted in the same order as in the poster.
