The Collinder Catalogue.

[cotterless45]

You've probably enjoyed the "Coathanger" , Cr399. Just one of the clusters in the Cr catalogue.

Although often overlooked by deep fuzzy searchers, these can provide exciting views, particularly the densely packed clusters. Useful targets, even in light polluted skies, Nick.

Tinker - Like the CN Pdf. Also, nice to see the poster obviously crediting the guy who did the work. In a world of cut, paste & publish, this is really nice to see.

Nick - you posted about Asterisms a while back with a link to a great list. I've failed to find it from my mobile, would it be worth adding it to this thread?

I remember being quite surprised to find a couple of diamond or fairy rings, one was in Cygnus,

Very nice lists. I have never looked at these before, but there are some very nice targets there. Thanks for posting Nick.

Thank you Nick, that was a lovely read and I now am going to revise my Kelling observing plan accordingly!

Thanks for the heads up, Nick, should be very targets for backyard works too

Thanks Nick! There are nice targets in that list! 

Some very famous are Collinder 50 (Hyades) and Collinder 70 (Orion's belt)! Lovely!
