Hi all

Im on the look out for a complete Globular Cluster list in excel format - the one that I had has disappeared.

Simbad returns 6502 objects of type "GlCl" :) You're going to be busy for a while.

Linky linky? :)

If you ever want to generate one yourself, the following submitted at http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fscript will basically give you a .csv containing object ID, RA, DEC, V magnitude:

set limit 1000
format object form1 "%IDLIST(1), %COO(A,D), %FLUXLIST(V)"
query cat GCl

That would query the GCl catalog, containing galactic globulars. There have been 5 or so added that I am aware of since 1970 when that catalog was created, which can be gotten from other catalogs. The combined catalog can be queried here: http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/VizieR-2?-source=VII/44B (note it will be missing anything discovered since 1981...)

Glad you found it Petra! For what it's worth, here's my list of MW globs, in Excel. There may be one missing??
Cheers -
