Vaonis Vespera - Photo Gallery (Messier Catalog)

Introduction | Photos (Messier Catalog) | Links

On the gallery pages, I present my so far "best" photos taken with my Vaonis Vespera (at the moment, most of the time all of them...). This page shows DSO that are included in the Messier Catalog.

Introduction

On this page, I would like to present my "best" photos of Messier objects that I took with my Vaonis Vespera. As hopefully new sky objects and maybe better photos of the objects will be added in the future, this page will be a "permanent construction site."
