Best of the NGC

I am sure that many IIS members will have come across the web site of the excellent Saguaro Astronomy Club in the USA. In case some may have not, there is some very good content - databases of objects, double stars etc.

One link in particular:
http://www.saguaroastro.org/content/...0BestOfNGC.htm
is a 126 page on-line resource of "The Best of the NGC", with constellation maps and more detailed maps of each object, as well as references to the Tirion charts, Burnham's Celestial Handbook etc.

If you are like me and trying to improve your sky knowledge and find some more things to see, it is really good.
