Caldwell Objects Volume 1: C1-C69 - Northern Hemisphere Objects

Description

Patrick Moore compiled the Caldwell Catalog of 109 astronomical objects in 1995 to highlight some of the most exceptional observational beauty or interest beyond the Messier list.

Each object includes a finder chart with a Telrad-style overlay, the filter suggestions for viewing it, and the Northern Hemisphere season when it is best placed for observation. In addition, both the original NGC description where available, and some background information for the object are included. 

This book includes those objects that should be observable from locations in the midnorthern latitudes, although the last few may be difficult to dig out of the Southern horizons at many observing locations. There is substantial overlap with Volume 2, as many objects are observable from the middle latitudes of both hemispheres.
