I have provided here a set of PDF documents containing all currently available images from my Project NGC. This is effectively a book of NGC objects. These documents are updated over time as new images become available. For information on the project its self please see this page.
For information on copyright of these PDF documents please see this page.
These documents might be useful in the following ways:
- Planning what objects to observe visually, or photograph.
- Identifying what object you are looking at in the telescope.
- Finding objects of suitable size and brightness for your equipment.
- Looking for cool or interesting objects to view through your telescope.
- Showing other people what you have seen through your telescope.
Errors in the books:
- I accept there will be some errors in the book and am continually working to improve the quality of images as well as verify object placement within images. It is unavoidable for a project of this size that there are some errors.
- Tell me about images which do not match their given NGC designation.
- Tell me about incorrect magnitude, RA, Dec, Width, Height or constellation attributes.
- I am aware that many images should be replaced with better versions and am working on this. These are usually of poor quality due to partial cloud and the effect that has on the automated image processing.
Option 1: Buy a printed copy
You may purchase printed copies of this book of NGC objects. The book is a printed spiral bound copy of higher quality images than the PDF download document. To purchase these use the the links below:
I update the book over time. As a result any subsequent purchases of updated copies of the book made by someone who has previously purchased a copy will receive a $5 discount. If this is you: Click here to receive your AU$5.00 discount.
Option 2: Download a PDF copy
The PDF document available for download here is compressed with low image quality such that it is a small enough file size to download. The results are available as two seperate PDF files split by RA hour, the first 12 hours and the second 12 hours:
