| The Caldwell Catalog is presented in order of descending declination (all positions are equinox 2000.0). For an observer at latitude X� N, all C objects at declinations north of (X-90)� will rise above the horizon at some time of year. Thus, for example, an observer in Boston (42.3� N) has a shot at C1 through C80, but C81 through C109 are too far south. For planetary nebulae a size of, e.g., 0.3/2.2 means that the bright nucleus is 0.3' across while the faint outer shell spans 2.2'. For more information, see the companion article, The Origin of the Caldwell Catalog. |
