Yes, it’s a reference to the designation of this object in the Messier astronomical catalog. The catalog was compiled by Charles Messier in the 1700s.
This particular setup I’m using now, if I were to buy everything new would cost around $7500. I bought a lot of used products and did it modularly as to not incur the financial burden all at once. I began with much simpler gear which was a lot more inexpensive. Depending on your goals, you could get a decent setup for around $2500-3000. For nightscapes with the Milky Way as a background, a good DSLR and a star tracker is about all that is needed.

How powerful and expensive is your telescope? I might be able to buy one for myself someday
