Hi all,
Continuing with the high resolution Messier Catalog, an image of Messier 29, an open cluster, has been uploaded. M29 belongs to the Cygnus OB1 association and therefore a significant part of its 50 stars belong to hot, bright, bluish, spectral class B0. You can find the image and some more info at:

Hi all,
I know that Messier 31 is a classic image. Probably, together with M42, one of the most imaged deep sky objects. This image has been the result of combining images from three telescopes, a 106 mm and a 150 mm refractors as well as a 24 inch reflector. The goal was to have a high resolution image of M31. You can find it at:

Hi all,
An image of a nearly edge-on galaxy has been uploaded. This is Messier 108, a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. More information as well as the image can be found at:

Hi all,
A new image, this time the globular cluster Messier 69, has been uploaded. This cluster lies in the proximity of the galactic bulge, what confers it special properties (metallicity, tidal radius, …). You can find the image as well as some more detailed information at:

Hi all,
An image of IC 410, the Tadpoles Nebula, has been uploaded to the web site. This nebula is very often imaged and very well known, but its beauty deserves another image. You can find it, as well as some more information at:

Hi all,
A reprocessed image of Melotte 15 (the core of the Heart Nebula) has been uploaded. This new image has additional 15 hours of Halpha as well as a slightly different color combination (based on the Hubble palette). You can find the image at:

Hi all,
An image of a globular, Messier 15, has been uploaded. This globular did undergo a core collapse and its core region is just 1.4 light years in diameter. It contains an intermediate mass black hole. You can find the image as well as some more information at:

Hi all,
An image of Messier 67, the King Cobra Cluster, has been uploaded. This one is a very interesting cluster. Being very old (the oldest in the Messier Catalog) it contains Blue Stragglers and even exoplanets (11 candidates) have been detected in M67. You can find the image as well as some more information at:

Hi all,
An image of a globular cluster (Messier 14) located in the constellation Ophiuchus has been uploaded. The first ever photographed nova (1932) exploded in M14. Anyhow, this nova was not discovered until 1964, when some astronomers were studying older images of M14. You can find the image and some more info at:

Hi all,
An image of another Messier open cluster (M23) has been uploaded. This cluster lies at about 2,000 light years from us, but still close enough to have the Milky Way as background. You can find the image as well as some more info at:
