Bennet and Hartung

Another source for the Bennett Catalogue is:
http://www.astrosurf.com/antilhue/Bennett.htm
There are some great images there.

The Bennett Catalogue was made during his searches for comets.
There are 152 objects in it: 24 open clusters, 69 globular clusters, only 4 nebulae, 9 planetary nebulae and 46 galaxies. Bright open clusters were not included as they are not comet like. The most northerly object is M77 (dec 0) and the catalogue includes 27 Messier objects.

Hartung is a large catalogue.
There are 574 deep-sky objects in it including 111 open clusters, 120 globular clusters, 57 nebulae, 109 planetary nebulae and 169 galaxies. (96 of these are Messier objects). It also contains 6 dark nebulae, over 500 double stars and 25 variables.
