Messier Objects

This gallery will display my best images of Messier objects. For those who do not know, a French astronomer Charles Messier compiled a list of nebular objects which were distracting him from his main pursuit - comet hunting. Nowadays, this is the most explored catalog of deep space objects - at least for northern hemisphere astronomers.
