1 The Ultimate Messier Object Log PDF This special version of The Ultimate Messier Object Log was created in response to all those people who don t have Filemaker, or who don t have the computer skills to create their own database with the ASCII data I provide. Although you can t sort or enter notes dynamically, you can print these pages out, put them into a notebook, and use them as a field guide. njoy! M100, spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices, courtesy STScI. This log is giveware : If you like it, please give it to a friend. If you add any neat features or have an idea for a feature I could add, send to: davidgreen@scvnet.com The Ultimate Messier Object Log contains all the relevant viewing information so you may find and view Messier objects with binoculars or telescope. You can track your viewing notes, sort on several different fields, and print field notes for star parties. View Pictures View pictures of objects, sorted by. nter The Main Screen nter your viewing notes and view all the info for each object at once. Start here! Atlas, Sort by List star atlas info for all objects, sorted by. Credits & Copyrights Parts of this database are copyright by SDS, the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy. Visit the SDS website! Students and ducators for the Discussion of Space, or SDS, is a NASA-sponsored organization. They maintain what may be the finest Messier object web site, from which I obtained much of the info herein. - Sort by List viewing notes for all objects, sorted by. Sort by Marathon # List all objects, in ideal order for a Messier marathon. - Sort by List all objects, sorted by the nearest constellation. Sort by Season List all objects, sorted by the season they re best viewed. 1998, by David Green, Castaic, CA USA
