Caldwell Catalogue
The Caldwell Catalogue contains objects that were left out of the more popular
Messier Catalogue. The Caldwell Catalogue objects are found in the northern and southern hemispheres so,
there are some of these objects that can't be viewed in our northern latitude. The objects that can be seen are worthy of being
noted for observation. They are objects that could be listed in the origional Messier Catalogue. If you wish to know more about
the Caldwell Catalogue visit Sky & Telescope's web site on the
Caldwell Catalogue.
