Astronomical catalogues
Saturday, November 24, 2007 at 8:04 PM | Astronomy |

For future reference, because there are an awful lot of them and because Jennifer will, I think, appreciate having it, here is a list of Wikipedia pages describing the various deep-sky catalogues:
- List of Messier objects
- List of NGC objects
- Index catalogue (no list)
- Herschel 400 catalogue
- Caldwell catalogue
- List of dark nebulae (i.e., Barnard objects)
(For all of Wikipedia’s faults, it does astronomy relatively well, I think.)
See also the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s Finest NGC Objects List, an illustrated guide to the Sharpless catalogue, and, of course, Wikipedia’s list of astronomical catalogues.
