Northern Deep Sky Objects

The attached file lists Northern Deep Sky Objects that are visible on the nights before and after the eclipse.
All of these 65 objects were seen by William and/or John Herschel (WH & jh) with an 18.5 inch speculum reflector.
The list includes 7 northern Messier objects. All up there are 5 planetary nebulae, 7 nebulae, 17 galaxies and 36 open clusters.
M31 and the double cluster will be high in the sky.

The data comes from http://www.klima-luft.de/steinicke/ngcic/ngcic_e.htm
