| The last object in the Messier catalog. M110 is a satellite galaxy of the Great Andromeda Galaxy (M31). In binoculars, M31, M32 and M110 make a delightful sight. Telescopically, M110 appears as a faint oval-shaped glow with no detail. Unusually for an elliptical galaxy, M110 appears to have dust clouds, and is sometimes classed as a "Dwarf spheroid" galaxy for this reason. | |||||||||||
