ASE Caldwell Project
This is our attempt to image as many of the Caldwell Catalogue objects as we can. Many are in the southern hemisphere so won’t be attempted. Images are by Imaging & Observing Group members. Only one image is shown on this page but if you click on an image it will show you all of the images taken of that object. Some may only have one, some may have many. The list was compiled by Patrick Caldwell-Moore as a complement to the Messier catalogue. We start populating it March 2021. 44/109
(only 65 from UK)
