On this page you will find the earliest (and so far only) attempt by Carleton students to image the entire Messier Catalogue with CCD cameras. These images were all taken with an SBIG ST-6 CCD camera with a Meade LX200 8″ telescope, unless otherwise noted. Images by Nathanael Motz unless otherwise noted.
