Messier 58 is one of the brightest galaxies in the constellation Virgo. Located roughly 62 million light-years from Earth, M58 is the most distant Messier object. The core contains high rates of star formation, known as starburst activity. It also houses a supermassive black hole around 70 million times the mass of our Sun.

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 89 is an elliptical galaxy located in the Virgo Cluster, within the constellation Virgo. M89 is approximately 50 to 55 million light-years away from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of about 9.8 to 10.73. The galaxy contains around 100 billion stars and over 2,000 globular clusters.

Messier 87 is a supergiant elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It is notable for its prominent jet of energetic plasma that originates from its core and extends at least 5,000 light-years. M87 is approximately 53.5 million light-years away from Earth.

Messier 66 is a prominent spiral galaxy located in the constellation Leo, approximately 36 million light-years from Earth. It is the brightest member of the Leo Triplet, a small group of interacting galaxies that also includes Messier 65 and NGC 3628.

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 109 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major, approximately 83.5 million light-years from Earth. It is one of the brightest galaxies in the Ursa Major Cluster. M109 is notable for its prominent central bar structure. The galaxy has a magnitude of about 9.8. It spans roughly 180,000 light-years in diameter, making it slightly larger than the Milky Way.

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.

M32 is a small dwarf satellite galaxy to its big brother Andromeda Galaxy. It is not photographed on its own, but the purpose of this image was to zoom in onto M32 itself. It is not a spectacular target, but photographed here in a closeup that is not seen very often.

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.

M110 is at first glance a somewhat boring galaxy, always in the shadow of its close and popular neighbour M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. The main reason of imaging was to complete the Messier catalogue. But some very small scale structure appeared to be present, which in the end made this a fun object to photograph.

M57, or the Ring Nebula, is a small planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra. Usually, only the core is captured in images, but this photo also shows the outer hydrogen (Ha) and oxygen (OIII) gas clouds. The difference is significant, so two different HDR methods were needed to achieve this result.

M77 is a nice small galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It has a wide area of gaseous rings around it, most of which could be pulled out in this image, due to 20h of exposure. M77 is also listed in the Arp Catalogue, as Arp37.
