Towards Messier Finishing III

..


M33
M31

Blue snowball - lil hard to find again

Showed some objects to Aparna before leaving: M31, M57, Jupiter, M13

So only 3 messier are missing now.. Here M40 and M102 are indeed misleading numbers in the list. People observe nearby NGC objects to complete the list.
