Messier Objects
Charles Messier - a comet hunter of the 18th century catalogued 110 objects that could be confused with comets. Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Messier .
I highly recommend a book on Charles Messier and the creation of this catalogue - Atlas of Messier Objects, 2008 by Ronald Stoyan.
Note: This gallery should be automatically sorted by Messier #.
