Re: Re: Re: (IAAC) The Herschel List
Eric -
The Sagurao Astronomy Club has a listing of the 100 best NGC objects. I
would expect most of these would be visible through your 90mm scope.
You can find information about a book written describing these objects
and how to find them at:
http://www.seds.org/pub/info/newsletters/sacnews/html/sac.110.best.ngc.h
tml.
Here is a list of the 100 objects. These should keep you going for
awhile!!
BEST OBJECTS IN THE NEW GENERAL CATALOG
by A.J. Crayon and Steve Coe
Version 1.0, dated Thu 01-04-1990
This list is used by members of the Saguaro Astronomy Club of Phoenix,
AZ. for the Best of the NGC achievement award. Constellation
abbreviations are the IAU standard. Type abbreviations: GC= globular
cluster, OC= open cluster, PN= planetary nebula, EN= emission nebula,
SNR= supernova remnant, RN= reflection nebula, Galaxies are identified
by their Hubble type. Sizes are in arc minutes, unless noted
otherwise.
