SeeStar – 110 Messier Objects

Attempting to capture all 110 Messier Objects with the SeeStar S50 Smart Telescope
SeeStar in Driveway
In July of 2024 I completed capturing all 110 Messier Objects using EAA equipment and techniques, including the SeeStar. On May 28, 2024 I set out on a journey to capture all 110 Messier Objects using the SeeStar S50 Smart Telescope.

Updated 08/25/2024: Added 9 more Messier objects from my observing session on 08/24/2024 for 27 of 110 objects captured.
Updated 08/05/2024: 18 of 110 Objects Captured

All images on this page were captured using the SeeStar S50 set up on either the stock tripod or on a CG5 tripod. Live stack integrations are from 5-30 minutes with no post processing or enhancements performed on the captured images outside of contrast, brightness, and saturation adjustments in the live stack. The images were saved just as they were observed on iPad screen in the SeeStar app. Some images may have been cropped for size/area of interest.
