Notes

* Click on a column heading to sort that column alphabetically or numerically. Click on the column heading again to sort in the opposite direction. Reloading the page will sort by the default of right ascension.

Leading zeros in certain columns in Master List of Objects table are used so that the column sorts correctly when you click on a column heading to sort.

The Master List "Size and Separation" column does not sort correctly because of different types of data included in this column.

Sorting of columns on the Master List page does not work in the Safari web browser. Sorry. It should work in all of the other popular browsers such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox.
Column Notes:

Name - The best known popular name of the object.

OBJ - Object Type
  • AST = asterism
  • CON = constellation
  • CS = carbon star
  • DN = dark nebula
  • DS = double star
  • EN = emission nebula
  • GAL = galaxy
  • GAL CL = galaxy cluster
  • GAL GR = galaxy group
  • GC = globular
  • MC = Molecular Cloud
  • MS = multiple star
  • OC = open cluster
  • PN = planetary nebula
  • Q = quasar
  • RN = reflection nebula
  • S = star
  • SA = stellar association
  • SC = star cloud
  • SNR = supernova remnant
  • VS = variable star

Catalog Number - The catalog and reference number of the object. Please see the Object Identifications page for more detailed information.

Con - The constellation in which the object is located.

R.A. - The right ascension of the object.

The Master List is initially sorted by right ascension starting at 0 hours, which is on the meridian on September 21, the autumnal equinox, at local midnight or 1 a.m. if daylight savings time is active.

Dec - The declination of the object.

Size / Sep - Usually the size of the object, or separation of double or multiple stars.

Object Sizes are sometimes approximate, depending on how deep the image goes.

Sizes are give in degrees (°), minutes (') or seconds (") of arc. These are determined by dividing a circle into 360 degrees, and each degree into 60 minutes of arc, and each minute into 60 seconds of arc. In an astronomical context, degrees, minutes and seconds of arc are angular measures and not measures of temperature or time.

The Size/Separation column does not sort correctly. A rough sort by size can be achieved by using the Framing column as an alternative.

Mag - The magnitude of the star or object. Two magnitudes are given for double stars, one for each star. No magnitudes are given on dark nebulae or objects where the magnitude has not been measured or listed in catalogs.

The magnitudes of most extended objects that are not stars are usually integrations of brightness for the entire object because most objects have bright and faint parts.

Notes - Miscellaneous notes on the object. Objects with an exclamation point are among the best in the sky. Carbon Star B-V ratings are Tycho 2 measurements that give the difference between the standard Johnson B and V filters. Higher numbers mean the star has a more red color. For planetary nebula "CS" is the magnitude of the central star. Brightest stars are for the night sky (not counting the Sun, which is the brightest star in the sky).

Frame - Framing gives a suggested focal length for best framing an object with a DSLR with an APS-C sized sensor that is about 22.5 mm x 15 mm in size. This is the size of the sensor in most Canon consumer cameras such as the Canon 60D, 70D, T3i (600D), T4i (650D), T5i (700D), XS (1000D), T3 (1100D), SL1 (100D) and others. Most recent Nikon consumer cameras such as the D7100 and D5200 have a sensor size of about 23.5 mm x 15.6 mm. For cameras with different sensor sizes use the Field of View Calculator in the Photography Notes section to determine your field of view for a given focal length.

Focal lengths suggested here are just starting points as the same object can usually be shot with different focal lengths. Close ups with higher magnification can reveal more details in an object. Wider fields can place an object in the context of its surroundings. Sometimes we must just shoot with the focal length we have available.
