Regular certificates are given for
the first 70 Messier objects observed. When the awardee
observes all the Messier objects, they receive an honorary
certificate in addition to their regular certificate.
Dates when each certificate is awarded are listed for
each awardee. There are a few certificate numbers not
listed. The missing numbers are duplicate certificates
with a few people being issued as many as three. There
was also a problem with lost mail and some people were
issued different numbers for their honorary and regular
certificates.
