The LIST

All objects are listed in Right Ascension order so that you can view them as they rise in the east and set in the west. Information provided on each object includes: Catalog Number, Right Ascension, Declination, Magnitude, Type of Object, Size, Constellation, and what chart they are located on in both the Uranometria and Wil Tirion’s Sky Atlas 2000. Notes are provided on a few of the objects to clarify their observation.  All objects are brighter than 9th magnitude and larger than 3 minutes in diameter. Catalogs represented in this list are: New General Catalog, Index Catalog, Stock, Markarian, Trumpler, Collinder, Kemble, and Melotte.
