I used the same magnitude limits as the Messier catalogue.
OC to mag 8.0 (selected using mag 14.0 colour images). GC to mag 9.2.
PN to mag 11.0 (12" or more in size). Gxy to mag 10.1. All of these objects are visible in a 6" scope.
Images are from
www.wikisky.org and most images are 56' x 56'.
Objects were selected using the magnitudes in
