M64 - The Black Eye Galaxy - The Black Eye Galaxy (also called Sleeping Beauty Galaxy; designated Messier 64, M64, or NGC 4826) was discovered by Edward Pigott in March 1779, and independently by Johann Elert Bode in April of the same year, as well as by Charles Messier in 1780. It has a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy

M4 Globular Cluster - Messier 4 (also known as M4 or NGC 6121) is a globular cluster in the constellation Scorpius. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1746 and catalogued by Charles Messier in 1764. M4 was the first globular cluster in which individual stars were resolved. M4 is conspicuous in even the smallest of telescopes as a fuzzy ball of light. It is also the one of the easiest globular clusters to find, being located only 1.3 degrees west of the bright star Antares, with both objects being visible in a wide field telescope. Modestly sized telescopes will begin to resolve individual stars of which the brightest in M4 are ofClass IX Constellation Scorpius Right ascension 16h 23m 35.41s[1] Declination -26° 31′ 31.9″[1] Distance 7.2 kly (2.2 kpc) Apparent magnitude (V) +7.12[1] Apparent dimensions (V) 36′.0 Physical characteristics Mass kg ( M{\odot})
