Caldwell catalogue 4472896 224746191 2008-07-10T06:36:08Z KGyST 4111901 /* 21-30 */ <!-- Image with unknown copyright status removed: [[image:Caldwell.all.750pix.jpg|thumb|Table of images of all 109 Caldwell objects. Click on the picture for a larger version.]] --> The '''Caldwell Catalogue''' is an [[astronomical catalog]] of 109 bright [[star cluster]]s, [[nebula]]e, and [[galaxies]] for observation by [[amateur astronomy|amateur astronomers]]. The list was compiled by [[Patrick Moore|Patrick Caldwell-Moore]] as a complement to the [[Messier Catalogue]]. The Messier Catalogue is used frequently by amateur astronomers as a list of interesting deep-sky objects for observations, but Moore noted that the list did not include many of the sky's brightest deep-sky objects, including the [[Hyades (star cluster)|Hyades]], the [[Double Cluster]] ([[NGC 869]] and [[NGC 884]]), and [[NGC 253]]. Moreover, Moore observed that the Messier Catalogue, which was compiled based on observations in the Northern Hemisphere, excluded bright deep-sky objects visible in the Southern Hemisphere such as [[Omega Centauri]], [[Centaurus A]], the [[Jewel Box]], and [[47 Tucanae]].<ref name="The Caldwell Objects">{{cite book | last = O'Meara | first = Stephen James | title = The Caldwell Objects | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | date = 2002 | id = ISBN 0-521-82796-5}}</ref><ref name="caldwellclubweb">{{cite web | title=Caldwell Club Introduction | url=http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/caldwell/cldwl.html | accessdate=2006-09-08}}</ref> He quickly compiled a list of 109 objects (to match the number of objects in the Messier Catalogue) and published it in [[Sky and telescope|Sky & Telescope]] in December [[1995]].<ref name="Sky & Telescope">{{cite journal | last = Moore | first = Patrick | title = Beyond Messier: The Caldwell Catalog | pages = 38 | publisher = [[Sky & Telescope]] | date = December 1995 | url = http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/skyandtelescope/access/887305161.html?dids=887305161&FMT=CITE&FMTS=CITE&date=Dec+1995&author=Patrick+Moore&desc=Beyond+Messier%3A+The+Caldwell+Catalog | accessdate = 2006-08-29 | format = subscription required}}</ref> Since its publication, the catalogue has grown in popularity and usage within the [[amateur astronomy|amateur astronomical]] community. However, the original list is criticized for some small compilation errors (listed below), and Moore may be criticized for what could be perceived as an egocentric-approach to compiling the list, including the use of one of his surnames to name the list and the use of "C" numbers to rename objects with more common designations.<ref name="A Good Idea Gone Bad">{{cite web | last = Ling | first = Alister | title = A Good Idea Gone Bad - Besides, Several Good Ideas Already Exist | url = http://members.aol.com/anonglxy/lingmoor.htm | accessdate = 2006-08-29}}</ref> As stated above, the list was compiled from objects already identified by professional astronomers and commonly observed by amateur astronomers. Unlike objects in the Messier catalogue, which are listed in the order they were discovered, the Caldwell catalogue is ordered by [[declination]], with C1 being the most northerly and C109 being the most southerly, although two objects ([[NGC 4244]] and the [[Hyades (star cluster)|Hyades]]) are listed out of sequence.<ref name="The Caldwell Objects" /> The original list also incorrectly identified S Norma Cluster ([[NGC 6087]]) as [[NGC 6067]] and incorrectly labelled the Lambda Centauri Cluster ([[IC 2944]]) as the Gamma Centauri Cluster.<ref name="The Caldwell Objects" /> A natural progression for the amateur astronomer wishing to observe deep sky objects would be to view the Messier catalogue, followed by the Caldwell catalogue, and then the [[Herschel 400 Catalogue]]. At the end of this exercise the observer would have viewed nearly 600 objects. Although there are 618 objects listed in these three catalogues the [[Herschel 400 Catalogue#Herschel 400 objects which are also Caldwell objects|Herschel 400 Catalogue]] does contain some objects from the Messier and Caldwell catalogues. ==Caldwell Star Chart== [[Image:CaldwellStarChart.svg|frame|left|Caldwell Star Chart.
