The project finally got underway on the 11th May with the giant elliptical galaxy M86 in Virgo. With the nights getting shorter I decided concentrate on the realm of the galaxies before Virgo and Leo sank into the summer twilight.
5 more galaxies were imaged that night M49, NGC 2903, NGC 3190, NGC 3227 and NGC 3377.

The 15th of may added 11 more galaxies to the tally including giant elliptical M87 in Virgo along with a Leo contingent M105, M65, M66, NGC 3384, 3412, 3489, 3521, 3593, 3607 and 3628. On 13th May Spiral Galaxy M61 and its recent Type 2 Supernova were imaged along with galaxies NGC 3640, 4429, 4435,4438,4442,4526, 4527 and 4535. As luck would have it another bright Supernova, this time a Type 1 was observed in NGC 3643 ( Not on the GT500 list) The supernova this time was much brighter than its host galaxy!
