Lists of deep sky objects month by month

[Fred_76]

Hello

I compiled the NGC, IC, Messier, Arp, Hickson, Sharpless, Lynd (dark and bright nebula)... catalogs from the Strasbourg university (Simbad). The tables are calculated for each month, and list all objects (except dark nebula) that are above 30° above horizon the 15th of each month at 0h real time, with a size greater than 3 arcmin.

The calculation is made at 49° North.

I also provide some other lists (dark nebula, other nebula, hypervelocity stars, biggest objects...).

The lists are in french but they are quite self explanatory.

Clear skys !

Hi!

Thank you for your compliments. I updated the lists with a new algorithm and translated most of the tables' text in english.

3. select Output format = ASCII (;-separator for spreadsheet), check file output

4. on the second column, only check Identifier, Object type (verbose description), Coordinates 1 (ICRS J2000 2000 decimal), Fluxes/Magnitudes (only check V), Angular size

5. click the Save button

6. click on the Identifier query tab

7. enter the catalogue name (NGC, IC, ACO for Abell, APG for Arp, HCG for Hickson, M for Messier, SN for Supernova, SNR for Supernova remnants, PN for pPlanetary Nebula, LDN for Lynd's Dark Nebula, LBN for Lynd's Bright Nebula...)

8. select "A whole catalogue" in the you can choose to query dropdown list

9. click on Submit ID and wait a few seconds
