Capturing images of these objects, while easier than most of the other night sky objects, can still present challenges to the person just starting out in astrophotography. Every object can be wildly different with differing exposures, different times of the year it is visible, and different sizes. Where do you start? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the author of \u003ci\u003eGetting Started: Long Exposure Astrophotography\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGetting Started: Budget Astrophotography\u003c\/i\u003e comes a book specifically aimed at helping beginning astrophotographers in North America capture some or all of the Messier objects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinally, here is one resource you can use on your desk or take into the field providing information specific to capturing each Messier object, or all 110 of them, in photographs.
