THE CALDWELL CATALOG:

109 Deep-Sky Delights for Backyard Observers

By Patrick Moore and the Editors of Sky & Telescope

Sky Publishing Corporation.

We hope to have the whole catalog available here soon, linked to the

pages in our database. The original

Caldwell Calatog

is available online at Sky Online.

Also note the

Caldwell page

of the Hawaii Astronomical Society‘s

Deepsky Atlas.
