Final Thoughts Messier 29 was such an incredible surprise!

Messier 103 is a pretty small open cluster in the constellation of Cassiopeia, about 9,000 light-years M103 was discovered in 1781 by Pierre Méchain, who is also thanked for many other objects in the Messier Processing Messier 103 We imaged Messier 103 with 4 filters: Luminance (L) Red (R) Green (G) Blue (B) Final Thoughts Messier 103 is a very easy target to photograph and process.

Messier 102 is a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on in Draco. Messier 102 was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. It was then entered into Charles Messier's catalog but later believed to be a duplicate of M101. As of today, M102's entry is known as one of Messier's mistakes, although it is still officially included Have you captured Messier 102?
