Sven Kohle's and Till Credner's Messier Object images

Sven Kohle and Till Credner of the university of Bonn, Germany, have collected beautiful astrophotos which they have obtained at several observatories: The Sternwarte Hoher List, the Calar Alto Observatory, the ESO La Silla. They made both 3-color composits of images obtained with a 2048x2048 CCD camera, and color film pictures.

Their images are copyrighted by the authors. They may be used for private and non-profit educational purpose if the authorship and copyright is acknowledged.
