Extremely useful site !

Have a look at this site for catalogs of Messiers and NGCs with sketches of the more interesting objects and info on all NGCs and Messiers and some sorted by constellation. Really, really useful.

they seem to reverse the black and white which is not that good to be honnest and they not always that big either

Very usefull idea.. But i think its worth mentioning these views are from Israel, im guessing the views there are significantly better than here in the UK.

Aren't they always! Still though, makes nice reading and provides ideas for hunting. I thought it might be useful to confirm if you had good seeing and transparency or not. I agree its a bit of a tease.... Still, the sections where they are arranged by constellation and then mag I thought were useful. I have become addicted to the Wixey and laptop/android phone for hunting DSOs and I thought this would be fun just sitting at the scope/table rather than continuously running back to the laptop. Surely its more more fun doing it the hard way....????????

this handy link has been posted before...I bookmarked it then. Sure the skies used for the data given are far better than this neck of the woods for the most part, even so its good to get an idea on some of the objects it lists.
