Deep Sky Collections and Catalogs
Historically important Deep Sky Catalogs and Lists
Historical Deep Sky Objects: List of all 152 Deep Sky Object discovered
before William Herschel began his extensive survey in September, 1782, in
various formats
Several smaller catalogs of historical importance are given in our History
of Deep Sky Discovery page; this includes Halley´s 6-object catalog.
Hodierna´s Deep Sky Observations
Hevelius´ obscure but historically important list of 16 "Nebulosae"
De Cheseaux´s list of 21 "nebulae"
Lacaille´s "Catalogue of Nebulae of the Southern Sky" (also available as
ascii file). We also have an online copy of the original Lacaille catalog
(as reprinted in an appendix of Messier´s Catalog).
Bode´s Catalog. Also note our online version of the Original Bode Catalog.
Messier Catalog:
Messier´s Original Catalog, also historical background stuff
Messier Catalog Object Index, also with Object Data
SEDS Messier Catalog Online Database
Caroline Herschel´s Deep Sky Discoveries (which were all included in William
Herschel´s catalog)
William Herschel´s catalog, available online thanks to Bill Arnett
NGC and IC catalog by J.L.E. Dreyer:
Bill Arnett´s NGC Webpage links the more important NGC and IC web resources,
and includes a dictionary for Dreyer´s description code.
SEDS Interactive NGC Online Catalog (includes IC and Messier), based on Sky
Publishing´s famous NGC 2000.0 database.
The NGC/IC Project maintains an online database of various versions of the
NGC and IC catalogs, corrections to the catalogs, and observations of the
NGC and IC deepsky objects. You may contribute your observations to their
database, and generate your own observing list interactively from their
facilities.
In addition to these catalogs which are available online, some other
historic observing lists, mostly from the 19th century, may still be suited
for amateur workthrough, in particular:
Admiral William H. Smyth, The Bedford Catalogue: From A Cycle of Celestial
Objects, 1844.
Rev. T.W. Webb. Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes, 1859.
Other Deep Sky Catalogs and Observing Lists
The Jack Bennett Catalog of Southern Deep-Sky Objects (also available as
plain ascii file), which was contributed by Auke Slotegraaf; thanks !
The Saguaro Astronomy Club (SAC) has compiled a list of the 110 best NGC
objects not in Messier´s catalog. Also note the original list by A.J. Crayon
and Steve Coe; it is also available as inexpensive booklet (info). This list
was contributed by Paul Dickson, editor of the SACnews newsletter.
The Messier Plus Marathon List (also available as ascii file): Wally Brown
and Bob Buckner have compiled a list of 110 Deep Sky objects (75 Messiers,
34 NGCs, 1 Brocchi) suitable for a 1-night marathon session around September
each year, the Messier Plus Marathon. Messier Plus marathons have been held
first by the Saguaro Astronomy Club of Phoenix, Arizona, in 1981 and 1982,
the list was contributed by AJ Crayon.
John Caldwell´s "Best Sky Objects from SAAO Latitude. List of deep sky
objects and double/multiple stars for Southern observers. Contributed by
Willie Koorts. [ascii file]
Glen Cozens from New South Wales, Australia, has compiled a list of 110
DEEP-SKY HIGH LIGHTS (also available as ascii file).
Patrick Moore´s Caldwell Catalog: Choose between our Linked Object List or
the (unlinked) Original Caldwell Catalog at Sky Online
The German yearbook, Ahnert´s Kalender fur Sternfreunde, has compilations of
very easy deepsky objects (suitable for 2-inch telescopes), especially
useful for school and public demonstrations. These lists of a total of 42
Northern deepsky showpieces is now available online.
Ben Crowell has created Binosky, a compilation of 31 Deep Sky Objects suited
for binocular observing. We have a list of the Binosky objects.
The American Association of Amateur Astronomers has created a List of Deep
Sky Objects (and double and variable stars) for Northern hemisphere
observers living in urban regions: The AAAA Urban Astronomy Club List of
Objects. This list is presented here crosslinked to the object pages in our
Messier Catalog Online Database; also note their (unlinked) original list.
The Albuquerque Astronomical Society (TAAS) has created TAAS 200, a list of
"the best 200 non Messier objects easily visible from central New Mexico"
(objects north of declination -48). This list was intended for
intermediately experienced and equipped observes.
The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) has published several useful
observing lists in their yearly Observer´s Handbook, edited by Roy L.
Bishop:
Messier Catalog, ordered by Season of observation, by Alan Dyer [also
available as ascii file]
The Finest NGC Objects, list of 110, by Alan Dyer
Deep Sky Challenge Objects, list of 45 more difficult objects, including
non-NGC/IC objects, by Alan Dyer and Alister Ling
The Astronomical League has provided extra observing tours beyond the
Messier objects for binocular observers, each one for Northern and Southern
Deep Sky Objects (and observers); we have linked copies of the object lists
to our pages here:
Binocular Deep Sky observing beyond Messier (Northern objects) [ AL´s
original Binocular Deep Sky Club page]
Southern Sky Binocular Club: Deep Sky observing in the Southern Sky [ AL´s
original Southern Sky Binocular Club page]
They also provide their famous Binocular Messier Club, granting certificates
for hunting down the Messier catalog with binoculars [ AL´s original
Binocular Messier Club page].
The Hawaii Astronomical Society has compiled a Beyond Messier and Caldwell
list of more challenging Deep Sky objects
The astronomical computer program Ephem, an ephemeris calculator, provides a
database containing various Solar System objects, stars, all Messier and 27
other Deep Sky Objects. Here is the list of (the 27 other) Deep Sky Objects
from the Ephem program. [You can download Ephem 4.28 for OS/2 here]
The Observatorio ARVAL (Venezuela) has made their ARVAL Catalog of Bright
Objects available online; it consists of the following parts:
The ARVAL Catalog of Guide Stars
The ARVAL Catalog of Bright Open Clusters
The ARVAL Catalog of Bright Globular Clusters
The ARVAL Catalog of Bright Galaxies
The ARVAL Catalog of Bright Nebulae
The ARVAL Catalog of Bright Planetary Nebulae
Erich Karkoschka, in his Atlas fur Himmelsbeobachter, lists 250 Deep Sky
Objects well observable by amateurs.
Boyd Edwards has compiled a big observing list of 884 deep sky objects,
which he has collected from the Messier catalog, the Caldwell catalog, the
Herschel 400 list of the AL, Burnham (all objects with long description), A.
Dyer´s 110 "Finest" NGC objects (Observers Handbook 1996), and objects
discussed in Sky & Telescope. For more detail, read Boyd´s Explanatory
Notes.
Tom Hoffelder, one of the inventors of the Messier Marathon, has compiled an
observing list of 1000 Deep Sky objects which he has named "The Magnificient
1000". We have here a description and the list. Tom has hunted down all but
NGC 2253 and 1663 with an 8-inch SC.
Other recommended offline lists and resources:
The Webb Society, in their famous Deep-Sky Observer´s Handbook Vol. 2, 3,
and 4, has provided a numbered catalog of 700 deep-sky objects (nebulae,
star clusters, and galaxies). This catalog excludes the bright Virgo Cluster
galaxies, which are treated in their Vol. 5 (Clusters of Galaxies).
Ronald J. Morales has published The Amateur Astronomer´s Catalog of 500
Deep-Sky Objects
Roger N. Clark´s book, Visual Astronomy of the Deep Sky, contains an atlas
of 90 and a catalog of 611 deep sky objects visible for better equipped
amateurs.
Objects, especially those which are fainter and less suited for amateur
observations, are often designated by catalog numbers from professional
catalogs; look at a list of some common deep sky catalogs.
