The '''Messier Catalogue''' is a list of 110 visually diffuse [[Astronomy|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.<ref>http://seds.org/messier/</ref> The final catalogue included discoveries made by other observers, especially [[Pierre Mechain]]. | |||

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.
