| Description | The very last unobserved Messier object, completing all 110. The last 6 were all captured between 4 AM and 5:24, which was astronomical dawn. I was sort of sleepy, not having had any coffee, and nearly forgot it. Luckily it was an open cluster so I could capture it in a brief amount of time. |
