Messier Atlas

A chart of the Messier objects — the nebulae, clusters, and galaxies of Charles Messier's eighteenth-century catalogue — each placed at its real celestial coordinates and sized by its apparent extent. The classic target list for a first tour of the deep sky.

105 Messier objects plotted at their measured coordinates (equirectangular projection).
