Rich, that's a great site.. I was looking for some catalog downloads and that site has just what I was after.

Vind, you can also try http://www.ngcic.org. Some good stuff there.

Try this site too, great for Messier and some other object observing logs.

Great looking free software.

Guys, this thread has saved me a wad of cash. I had almost given up on finding this stuff in a readily downloadable form and was going to order some stuff from OS. I have also been wanting a complete NGC catalogue.

Thanks.

I couldn't get onto the nexstar site, but iceman's suggestion is a good one! I downloaded the database and converted it to an excel file, all optimised for viewing onscreen and printing. I must be bored!
