Sharpless 2-135 is a faint emission nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, approximately 4,500 light-years from Earth. The nebula appears as a diffuse, reddish cloud, though it is relatively faint compared to neighbouring nebulae such as the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635). It lies in a region rich with other notable nebulae, including Sh2-136 (the "Ghost Nebula") and Sh2-137.

Messier 26, also known as NGC 6694, is an open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Scutum. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. M26 spans a linear size of 22 light years across with a tidal radius of 25 light-years, and is at a distance of 5,160 light years from the Earth. The brightest star is of magnitude 11 and the age of this cluster has been calculated to be 85.3 million years.

Messier 18, also designated NGC 6613 and sometimes known as the Black Swan Cluster, is an open cluster of stars in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. Messier 18 is 4200 lightyears from the Earth and 22.200 lightyears from the Galactic Center.

Sh2-124 is a large emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It is located on the northwestern edge of the constellation. The complex is probably located in the Orion arm at a distance of about 8,480 light year. The predominant signal is Ha, but the much weaker OIII and SII signals could be boosted to result in a typical Hubble palette image.

Messier 2 (NGC 7089) is a globular cluster in the constellation Aquarius. It was discovered by Jean-Dominique Maraldi in 1746, and is one of the largest known globular clusters. M2 is about 55,000 light-years distant from Earth. At 175 light-years in diameter, it is one of the larger globular clusters known.

Messier 7 (NGC 6475), sometimes known as Ptolemy's Cluster, is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Scorpius. The cluster is easily detectable with the naked eye, close to the "stinger" of Scorpius. With a declination of −34.8°, it is the southernmost Messier object.

Messier 20, also called the Trifid Nebula, is an H II region in the north-west of Sagittarius. It was discovered by Charles Messier on June 5, 1764. Its name means 'three-lobe'. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the reddish-pink portion), a reflection nebula (the blue portion), and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' in the blue that cause the trifurcated appearance).

Messier 23 is an open cluster of stars in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. It is in front of "an extensive gas and dust network". The cluster is centered about 2,050 light years away. Estimates for the number of its members range from 169 up to 414, with a directly-counted mass of 1,206 sun masses. The cluster is around 330 million years old.

Messier 107, also known as the Crucifix Cluster, is a very loose globular cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in April 1782, and added to the Messier catalogue only in 1947 by Helen Sawyer Hogg together with three other objects found by Méchain. M107 is close to the galactic plane and about 20,900 light-years from Earth

Messier 29, also known as the Cooling Tower Cluster, is a quite small, bright open cluster of stars just south of the central bright star Gamma Cygni in the constellation Cygnus. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. Its age is estimated at 10 million years, as its five hottest stars are all giants of spectral class B0.

Messier 104, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy, is a peculiar galaxy of unclear classification in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered on May 11, 1781 by Pierre Méchain. Charles Messier made a handwritten note about this and five other objects (now collectively recognized as M104 – M109) to his personal list of objects now known as the Messier Catalogue, but it was not "officially" included until 1921.

Messier 6, also known as the Butterfly cluster, is an open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Scorpius. The first astronomer to record its existence was Giovanni Battista Hodierna in 1654. 120 stars, ranging down to visual magnitude 15.1, have been identified as most likely cluster members. Most of the bright stars in this cluster are hot, blue B-type stars but the brightest member is a K-type orange giant star, BM Scorpii, which contrasts sharply with its blue neighbours in photographs.

Messier 60, is an elliptical galaxy approximately 57 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo. Together with NGC 4647, it forms a pair known as Arp 116. NGC 4647 is an intermediate spiral galaxy. The galaxies are located on the outskirts of the Virgo Cluster. On 16 April, the Japanese amateur astrophotographer Kōichi Itagaki discovered a very bright Supernova, also known as SN 2022hrs.

Messier 8, the Lagoon Nebula, is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna in 1654 and included in the Messier catalog in 1764. Within the nebula is the open cluster NGC 6530. The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000–6,000 light-years away from the Earth.

Messier 62, also known as the Flickering Globular Cluster, is a globular cluster in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It was discovered in 1771 by Charles Messier. M62 is about 21.5 thousand light years from Earth. The cluster may prove to be the galaxy's richest in terms of RR Lyrae variables. It is hypothesized that this cluster may be host to an intermediate mass black hole.

Messier 14 is a globular cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus. M14 is approximately 30,000 light-years away from Earth and 100 light years across. Stars in M14 are generally older and have lower metallicity compared to stars in the galaxy's disk.

Messier 11, also known as the Wild Duck Cluster, is one of the richest and most compact open star clusters known, located in the constellation Scutum. The cluster is approximately 6,200 light-years away from Earth and has an estimated age of around 220 million years. It contains thousands of stars, many of which are brighter and younger than our Sun.

Messier 17, commonly referred to as the Omega Nebula or Swan Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. Spanning approximately 30 light-years in the longest direction, Messier 17 is located roughly 5,000 to 6,000 light-years from Earth. It is one of the most massive molecular clouds in our Galaxy.

Caldwell 21 is an irregular galaxy located approximately 12.5 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is part of the M94 Group, a collection of galaxies in the vicinity of the Milky Way. Caldwell 21 is notable for its active star formation, which is evident from the numerous young, blue star clusters and pinkish star-forming regions scattered throughout the galaxy.

Messier 68, is a globular cluster in the constellation Hydra. The cluster lies approximately 33,600 light-years from Earth and is one of the more remote globular clusters. Its age is estimated to be around 10-12 billion years. M68 spans about 106 light-years in diameter.
