Visual Catalogue of Galactic Nebulae
Andreas Alzner, Ronald Stoyan
Webb Society QJ 1/1996

For the first time ever this catalogue contains a complete list of nearly all Galactic Nebulae north of -33° Dec visible in a 14" instrument. All given data is optimised for visual work and enables each observer to compile his own observational schedules. The catalogue consists of about 400 visual observations of 240 Galactic Nebulae. Each line represents the best observation of the given object achieved by the stated observer under his conditions, the results given in numbers for short. All of these observations were done from central Europe with limiting sky magnitudes (zenith) from m6.3 to m7.2. Not included in this catalogue are those objects were no visual sighting could be achieved.

The 30 largest M, NGC and IC nebulae from the same catalogue are in order.
