I would like to thank James McGaha for capturing these images as well as Tim Hunter for his hard work in capturing, processing
and compiling these wonderful Messier Objects. More information about Tim Hunter
and James McGaha can be found at their website, the
Grasslands Observatory.
These Messier images were captured using a 24 inch reflecting telescope with
a Finger Lakes Dream
Machine CCD camera.
