Hi Everyone, I hope you're all having some clear skies. I wanted to share a great initiative from Dalia and @Antoine Grelin . If you are not following them on Youtube or social media (Galactic Hunter) you may not be aware of it. They have launch a fundraising campaign to renovate (and maintain) Charles Messier's decaying grave in Paris. I thought it was worth sharing the info in the community. Here's the link to the fundraising page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/renovate-charles-messier-s-grave-for-100-years#/ If you want to learn more, here's the link to the webpage on Antoine and Dalia's website: https://www.galactic-hunter.com/post/help-us-renovate-charles-messier-s-grave-for-the-next-100-years On a side note, I'm fairly new to AB so I wasn't sure whether this was an appropriate topic to post here. If it is not, my apologies, but I really think this is worth sharing as Charles Messier is an important figure in Astrophotography! (and not because he is French like me  ).CS everyone!!!! Nick |

Hi Nick, I'm guessing you've seen it but they have cleaned Messier's grave. They posted an update a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=n6bTAS0sZ7g&feature=emb_title |

John Hayes: Yes it is. I'm glad the fundraising worked out well. I'll have to visit the grave next time I go to Paris too. |
