Messier 56 is a globular cluster in Lyra. The globular cluster is, besides M57, the only Messier object in the constellation Lyra. How to Process Messier 56 Processing the globular cluster M56 was pretty straightforward. Final Thoughts Messier 56 is an "okay" globular cluster. Have you captured Messier 56?

Messier 64 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. Messier 64 is not easy nor too difficult to capture for beginner astrophotographers, but it definitely Not too far from M64 lie several other Messier galaxies, such as M85 and M100. Another Messier object, the globular cluster M53 is also very close to it. Processing the Black Eye Galaxy Messier 64 is tricky to process.

Messier 40, also known as Winnecke 4 is just... two regular stars... that were cataloged by Charles Messier M40 is in fact not a deep sky object and was added in Messier's catalog as a mistake! Messier was trying really hard to locate a "nebula" found by Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius. Processing Messier 40 Messier 40 is a very easy target to process.

Messier 1 is a pretty iconic target, being the first deep sky object to have a spot in the Messier Catalog It is also pretty iconic, as it is after this discovery, mistaken for a comet, that Charles Messier decided with a Cooled Astronomy Camera October 22nd, 2019 Three and a half years later, we decided to re-visit Messier Messier 1 is easily visible with any telescope, but a 16” or bigger instrument will reveal details within Final Thoughts Messier 1, the Crab Nebula, is a small but great target for astrophotography.

Messier 42, also called the Orion Nebula, is the most popular nebula to photograph! Messier 43 is an H II region that is pretty much part of M42.
