📚 Object catalog
"All" lists 2852 main objects: 110 Messier, 109 Caldwell and 2633 NGC/IC objects of 2.0′ or larger (all planetary nebulae regardless of size). All IC objects (4,153, including small galaxies), LDN dark nebulae (1,779), Sharpless objects (Sh2, 313) and Abell planetary nebulae (72) can be shown by choosing them as the catalog. Tap an object to see its midnight transit date.
