282 deep sky objects
My last list did not contain any nebulae so here is a list to remedy that.
The attached list contains 282 deep sky objects, all of them south of declination +60.
It includes 90 Messier objects. There are 92 galaxies, 50 GC, 47 OC, 47 PN and 46 nebulae.
The columns are:
NGC or IC number
Messier number
Type (OC, GC, neb, PN, Gxy) and subtype
Constellation
Visual magnitude and surface brightness
Maximum & minimum size in arc-minutes
Position angle
RA (hms) and declination (dms) for 2000.
Southern season at 10pm (11pm DST)
Summer is OC and nebulae season with 21 of the 47 OC and 23 of the 46 nebulae transiting at 10pm.
Autumn is galaxy season with 59 of the 92 galaxies transiting at 10pm.
Winter is GC and PN season with 31 of the 50 GC and 18 of the 47 PN transiting at 10pm.
This tab-delimited file can be copied into a spreadsheet and sorted.
