Planetary Nebulae in the NGC/IC Catalogue
I started collecting images of planetary nebulae so that I could
keep track of which ones are worth looking for. Here is the list so far. I am
working through the NGC first and then the IC. Maybe one day I'll have a go at
some of the others too.
The table lists all planetary nebulae in the NGC and IC
Catalogues. It is in the sequence of NGC number. The constellation, magnitude
and description are taken directly from the NGC catalogue. If the catalogue
number has a hyperlink then click on it to see images.
The names in white are as in the original catalogue, names in
green are more recent popular names.
Unless otherwise stated, all images have been
obtained using
SLOOH
equipment on the Canary Islands.
