Please Note: the images displayed on this website are not necessarily the best examples from these astrophotograhers. The website attempts to show images of as many galaxies as possible. So if someone has such an image, it will normally be displayed. Most of these astrophotographers have years of experience, so if you see one/more relatively bad images, it does not mean that these people are 'bad astrophotographers'. It may be one of their first images taken, it may have been deliberately taken under the full moon. or taken at low altitude or poor seeing conditions - just for the sake of experimenting under such conditions. So please do not 'judge' these astrophotographers based on their less stunning images I also included.
