I earned the Astronomical League's
Messier award back in 2002. Since then, I've observed many of the
Messier objects dozens of times through various telescopes and binoculars. For the purpose of this forum, I thought it would be fun to include my first recorded observations of each
Messier object, many of which were viewed through my trusty junkscope Kmart 60mm refractor.

I missed where you said a 60mm refractor - that is indeed super-impressive!

Always nice to read other peoples' descriptions of the M-objects, especially when using smaller scopes.
I've bagged 74 since I got back into the hobby a couple of years ago. Many galaxies continue to elude me in my LP. <sigh>

I had trouble with M102 - who doesn't? But otherwise I completed the M110 with my 10" Dob.
