Messier objects, full set
Messier objects. These 110 astronomical objects were catalogued by the French astronomer Charles Messier (1730-1817), a comet hunter who wanted to list the permanent objects in the sky that might be mistaken for comets. They range from the Crab nebula (M1) at top left to the dwarf elliptical galaxy M110 at bottom right. Other notable Messier objects include the Orion nebula (M42, upper left), the Ring nebula (M57, centre right) and the Whirlpool galaxy (M51, centre left edge). Trying to observe all 110 objects in one night is known as the Messier Marathon. This is easiest to accomplish in the spring in the Northern Hemisphere

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the full set of Messier objects, a collection of 110 astronomical wonders meticulously catalogued by the visionary French astronomer Charles Messier. Originally driven by his pursuit of comets, Messier sought to identify and document permanent celestial entities that could be easily mistaken for these transient cosmic visitors. From the top left corner, we are drawn into a mesmerizing journey through space as we encounter various awe-inspiring phenomena. The Crab nebula (M1) immediately catches our attention with its intricate filaments and vibrant colors. As our gaze wanders across the image, we come face-to-face with remarkable sights such as the Orion nebula (M42), an ethereal birthplace of stars, and the Ring nebula (M57), resembling a celestial smoke ring suspended in time. The Whirlpool galaxy (M51) captivates us with its graceful spiral arms stretching across vast distances. Nestled at the bottom right corner lies M110, a dwarf elliptical galaxy that adds an element of mystery to this cosmic tapestry. Observing all 110 Messier objects in one night is no small feat; it requires dedication and skill. This challenge has become known as the Messier Marathon, often undertaken during springtime in the Northern Hemisphere when optimal viewing conditions align. As we delve deeper into this photograph's rich details, we gain insight into our ever-expanding universe—galaxies upon galaxies scattered amidst open star clusters, planetary nebulae dancing with emission clouds
