This publication of the catalog of objects of Messe is the only one of its kind. The fact is that this astronomer, who lived in the late XVII – early XVIII century, designed the telescope, taking lenses with a diameter of about 20 cm. Today, amateurs of astronomy are collecting themselves or buy telescopes equipped with lenses of about the same size, and therefore, they can easily find the same remarkable objects in the sky.
This book is a guide to the Messea catalog thanks to its incomparably higher quality pictures obtained on the largest ground telescopes and their cosmic counterparts. If you are going to observe the heavenly curios found once, then thanks to these pictures and coordinates placed at the end of the catalog, you will have an idea of an object of observation and will quickly find its location among stars. I envy you and want to enjoy communicating with a mysterious night sky!
