Messier Objects
These are pictures from the Messier list of deep-sky objects. I have taken them within the last year with my Seestar S50 robotic telescope. I was assisted in the creation of this page by GPT4.0 and GPT5. I humbly thank both for their assistance!
A few pictures are missing but i will either make them or take them and add them here.
I may change the structure of the web site but for now this url will work. Let me know if you have any problems - gmsantoro@gmail.com.
