Charles Messier was an astronomer, born in France in 1730. He is famous for his astronomical catalog which lists 110 bright star clusters, nebulae and galaxies which are now referred to as the Messier objects.

There are only 100 of these objects visible to those who live in the southern hemisphere. Take a look below at my attempts to capture all visible objects and how I did it. Until the object has been captured, the post will include likely capturing months in Australia and the imaging plan. Feel free to use it as your own guide if you plan to do the same!

Keep an eye out on this page as the years go on as I capture and log them below!
