The Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) Visitor Center offers a public program for guests (basically everybody) to do quasi-professional astronomical observations, the Advanced Observing Program (AOP). Here you can rent a well-equipped 16-inch telescope for a full night. The images below have been obtained by participants, and processed by Adam Block, who also maintains a collection of more images - or just note his Best of AOP highlights.

Here we give a list of all Messier Object images from the AOP. Also note our list of Advanced Observing Program, KPNO Visitor Center Messier Object images included in our pages.
