Object Catalogues

The following object catalogues are available. Where appropriate, names of objects are linked to Your Sky's Virtual Telescope; clicking on the object will show you where it is in the sky. Some of these catalogues are rather large and may take some time to download; large tables have, in some cases, been broken into a number of smaller tables to avoid crashing Web browsers which run out of memory trying to format long tables.
