For this reason, his catalogue does not include many famous deep sky objects that can only be seen from southern latitudes, such as the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/large-magellanic-cloud/">Large Magellanic Cloud</a> (mag 0.9) in the constellations <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/dorado-constellation/">Dorado</a> and <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/mensa-constellation/">Mensa</a>, the Small Magellanic Cloud (mag. 2.7) in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/tucana-constellation/">Tucana</a> and <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/hydrus-constellation/">Hydrus</a>, the globular clusters <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/omega-centauri-ngc-5139/">Omega Centauri</a> (mag. 3.9) in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/centaurus-constellation/">Centaurus</a> and 47 Tucanae (mag. 4.09) in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/tucana-constellation/">Tucana</a>, and the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/carina-nebula/">Carina Nebula</a> (mag. 1.0) in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/carina-constellation/">Carina</a>. All these objects are visible to the naked eye and appear quite large in good conditions, but cannot be seen from mid-northern latitudes.</p> <p>Messier specifically looked for objects which appeared similar to comets and might deceive other comet hunters, but even though he made exceptions with some objects that did not resemble comets and had been widely known since ancient times (the <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/messier-45-pleiades/">Pleiades</a>, the <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/messier-42-orion-nebula/">Orion Nebula</a>, <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/messier-44-beehive-cluster/">Praesepe</a>), he did not do so with others. Notable absentees from <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/messier-catalogue/">Messier’s catalogue</a> in the northern hemisphere include the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/double-cluster/">Double Cluster</a> (NGC 869 and NGC 884, mag. 3.7 and 3.8) in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/perseus-constellation/">Perseus</a>, the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/hyades/">Hyades cluster</a> (mag. 0.5) in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/taurus-constellation/">Taurus</a>, and the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/helix-nebula-ngc-7293-caldwell-63-in-aquarius/">Helix Nebula</a> (NGC 7293, mag. 7.6) in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/aquarius-constellation/">Aquarius</a>.</p> <p>The constellations with the greatest number of Messier objects are <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/sagittarius-constellation/">Sagittarius</a> (15) and <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/virgo-constellation/">Virgo</a> (11). <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/coma-berenices-constellation/">Coma Berenices</a> is home to eight objects, <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/ophiuchus-constellation/">Ophiuchus</a> and <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/ursa-major-constellation/">Ursa Major</a> contain seven each, and <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/canes-venatici-constellation/">Canes Venatici</a> and <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/leo-constellation/">Leo</a> each host five.</p> <p><a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/sagittarius-constellation/">Sagittarius</a> lies in a particularly dense region of the Milky Way, in the direction of the galactic centre, which is why it contains a high number of bright clusters and nebulae. <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/virgo-constellation/">Virgo</a> and <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/coma-berenices-constellation/">Coma Berenices</a> are rich in Messier objects because they host the <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/virgo-cluster/">Virgo Cluster</a>, the nearest large galaxy cluster to the Milky Way. The total number of bright <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/virgo-cluster/">Virgo Cluster</a> galaxies included in <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/messier-catalogue/">Messier’s catalogue</a> is 17. Eleven of these are found in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/virgo-constellation/">Virgo</a> and six in <a
