Gallery of Masterpieces

What does mean "to take the best picture" of an celestial object ? 

It is to reach the highest resolution using a specific scope, an image taken in the best transparency and seeing conditions as possible to prevent any degradation. The image must not show traces of optical aberrations, guiding corrections or processing artifacts. Thanks to the author skills the image must be well balanced for contrast, colors and processed to reveal features in both brights areas and dark zones.

The pictures presented in next pages have been published with the courtesy of the authors, also a way for me to promote their work. For the pleasure of your eyes here are some perfect examples of what I call "masterpieces", pride of their author. Do not reproduce these pictures without first asking the permission to the authors.
