I am looking for a collaborator to develop a composite image of the entire Messier Catalog, similar to today’s APOD (May 14, 2026).
However, with a smaller image scale and longer integration times.
The project may take more than 3 years to complete, but there is no need to be overly strict about deadlines.
Requirements:
Image scale around 1 arcsec/px;
Integration times of approximately 3 to 10 hours per object (can be discussed later);
Intermediate-level image processing skills (I would like someone capable of achieving results similar to mine, although I can also edit the images so they match more or less in style).
