Even the seds messier database can point you the way here :-)
I've linked from the homepage (http://www.seds.org/messier/)
- Bill Arnett's Web Nebula
- Anglo-Australian Observatory (lots of non-M's also)
- ASP index of NGC images
- my NGC Online catalog which has an option to retrieve a Digital Sky
Survey image for each NGC or IC object - ok some are too large to be
pretty here but ..
(http://www.seds.org/~spider/ngc/ngc.html)
- SEDS image ftp archive
- University of Arizona Astro Club CCD images
- list of Deep Sky image sites (many of them with non-Messier images)
e.g. via the indexes, you can find also a non-Messier object index,
listing those non-M's covered in the SEDS Messier database (these indeed
exist ;) ):
http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/ngc/ngc.html by catalog number
http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/ngc/other-o.html by object type
[tentatively this is about 83 objects but less images as some have no
image yet, and some images show more than one objects.]
enjoy,
- hartmut
