Scientific paper

M103 is an open cluster in Cassiopeia, about 1 degree northeast of Delta Cassiopeiae, discovered by Mechain in 1781. As with M101 and M102 Messier did not check it before inclusion; had he done so, it seems likely that he would also have spotted the larger and far more comet-like open cluster NGC 663 1.5 degrees to the northeast. Both these clusters are members of the Cassiopeia OB8 association....
