Discovered by Pierre Mechain is 1781. This is the last of the entries in Messier's personal catalogue. M104 through M110 have been added by others based on Messier's observations.
HOW TO FIND IT:
Look on the first leg of the "W" in Cassiopeia. These stars will be Delta and Epsilon. Scan between them. There will be other clusters in the area that are included in the New General Catalogue and are worth taking a look at, but the Messier object is the one closest to Delta.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
This will be a rather loose cluster, but it is still very attractive.
