The Messier Catalogue is a list of 110 visually diffuse astronomical objects. The catalogue was compiled by Charles Messier between 1758 and 1782, as a collection of nebulae and star clusters, to distinguish them from comets, for the benefit of comet-hunters.[1] The final catalogue included discoveries made by other observers, especially Pierre Mechain.
