Hi all,
Dark nebulae are a bit of a niche within astro. The Inkspot and the Horsehead are two great examples. Chasing down these visually is something I like to do, and to sketch them is one of the more technically challenging things to reproduce on paper, and photo too.
I'm looking for a catalogue or two for southern sky dark nebulae.
There is the
Barnard Catalogue, but it is for dark nebulae visible from northern skies, so this list only goes as far south as Scorpio.
In my searching, I've come across references to the Dcld and the Sandqvist & Lindroos catalogues, but finding the actual lists has been difficult to say the least.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated
Alex.
