Messier Objects During the years between 1758 and 1782, Charles Messier compiled a list of 110 diffuse objects. As a comet hunter, these were a list of objects that he did not want to find. It turns out that these happen to be a list of some of the most beautiful objects in the night sky. This list is now used by ameteur astronomers as a good starting list of things to observe. This is my attempt to photograph all 110 objects.
