Astronomical Objects For Southern Telescopes

Arguably the best guide for southern deep sky observers is:
ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS FOR SOUTHERN TELESCOPES
by E J HARTUNG 1968, reprinted 1984
It contains 467 DSO south of declination +50

The object counts are:
Gal 139, GC 104, OC 92, PN 86, Neb 41, Dark 3, Ast 1, MW 1
Total 467

The file below contains 455 Hartung objects from the Abridged NGC/IC file plus 12 additional Hartung objects marked with a +.

You can copy this tab-delimited file to MS Excel and sort and filter it.
See the explanation for the Abridged NGC/IC below.

There is a book review of the latest edition of Hartung at:
