Messier also lacked the Cloudy Nights "Deep Dky Observing", "Refractors" and "Eyepieces" forums to post reports of his observations and get tons of helpful clues about how to upgrade his equipment.
Most of us would have advised him to junk that department store refractor and get a nice six-inch reflector, and get a few decent eyepieces while he's at it. There's a few contrarians here who would have said: "Charles, it's amazing what you can see in any instrument, no matter what it is" - don't badmouth department store scopes etc. We would have also oohed and ahhed when he told us matter-of-factly how dark his skies were outside Paris.
