Easy and exactly what I was looking for
I just wanted a simple listing of the Messier objects that I could check off once I had found them...along with easy access to see a listing of the objects accompanied by a visual. Perfect!
Description
My Messier is a quick reference of Messier objects: a list of the most famous galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in astronomy.
Each entry contains essential information for the object, such as size, brightness, and distance, as well as stunning images from the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories and satellites. No internet connection is required for the basic data and images, but a link is provided to open a Wikipedia page on the object for more information if you do have internet.
Convenient for experienced astronomers.
Educational for novice stargazers.
Impress your friends by instantly accessing facts on the objects they are seeing in your telescope.
Make it your personal list by checking off objects you've seen, or intend to.
Features:
- Information on all 110 objects in the catalog compiled by the 18th century French astronomer Charles Messier.
- "About" screen with explanations of the catalog and data.
- Support for Apple Watch! Holds information for all of the Messier objects on your wrist, including images. Supports Apple Watch complications for quick access.
The object list on the iPhone and Apple Watch shows at a glance the Messier number, object type, and the constellation it appears in, and on the iPhone, a thumbnail image and common name, if any.
Select an object in the list for detailed information:
For the iPhone and Apple Watch, information includes:

A few taps on your iPhone or Apple Watch with the My Messier app will inform, amaze, and help you better appreciate the gems of the night sky.
