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 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 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 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.

Messier 12 is a globular cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is located approximately 15,700 light-years away from Earth and about 75 light-years in diameter. With an estimated age of around 12 billion years, M12 is among the older objects in our galaxy.

Messier 46 is a rich open star cluster located in the constellation Puppis, approximately 5,500 light-years from Earth. Inside M46 is a planetary nebula, NGC 2438, which is located about halfway between Earth and M46. Also found an asteroid.

Messier 40, also known as Winnecke 4, is a double star system located in the constellation Ursa Major. Charles Messier mistakenly believed it to be a nebula. The two stars are separated by about 50 arcseconds and are approximately 500 light-years away from Earth.

Messier 53 is a globular cluster located in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is one of the most distant globular clusters associated with the Milky Way, lying approximately 58,000 light-years from Earth. M53 is often observed alongside its neighbouring globular cluster, NGC 5053, which lies nearby in the sky.

Messier 67 is an open star cluster located in the constellation Cancer. It is one of the oldest known open clusters, with an estimated age of around 4 billion years, making it significantly older than most other open clusters in the Milky Way. M67 is situated approximately 2,700 light-years from Earth and contains over 500 stars, many of which are similar in age and composition to the Sun.

Messier 48 is an open star cluster in the constellation Hydra, the Water Snake. The cluster is situated approximately 1,500 light-years from Earth, making it one of the clusters closest to our solar system. M48 contains roughly 80 stars, most of which are young, hot, blue-white main-sequence stars.

M79 is a small globular cluster in the constellation of Lepus. It maximally rises only 28° above the horizon, so is on the edge of what can be imaged from the observatory in Spain. Still an overall 12h of data has been collected in December 2024 and January 2025.

M37 is the brightest open cluster in the constellation of Auriga. Many of its 500 stars are fairly young bright blue stars, but the big star in the center (HD39183) is a yellow giant. M37 is photographed here during two consecutive full moon periods in December 2024 and January 2025 respectively.

M71 is a nice globular cluster in the constellation Sagitta at about 13,000 light-years away from Earth. The object is located near the dense star fields of the Milky Way, making it an intriguing object to photograph.

M103 is a small open cluster of only 172 stars, in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is located 9,400 lightyears from the Sun and includes some rather bright stars of magnitude 10.5. The object is photographed under full moon conditions.

M52 is an open cluster in the constellation of Cassiopeia. Star clusters like these are ideal targets to image during full moon, which is done here.

M39 is an open cluster in the constellation Cygnus. It consists of young bright blue stars and thanks to their characteristic positioning it is also referred to as the Pyramid cluster. Open clusters like this appear to be great targets to shoot during full moon periods.
