Timeline PhotosOn July 25, 1748, a young Charles Messier observed an annular solar eclipse, inspiring him to pursue a career in astronomy. 10 years later Messier discovered his first nebulae, the Crab Nebula (M1) while searching for a comet. His detailed archiving led to the release of the Messier catalog in 1774 with a total of 45 objects, expanding to a total of 103 objects over the years. ![]()

The Messier catalog is still used today and can be accessed on all SynScan hand controllers by pressing the number 4 and scrolling through all available objects.
