This is the Database for the NGC-Max DSC firmware version 3.52 as received (and
ocr'ed by me) from
JMI. It is the NS (386 non-stellar objects) and ST (928 stellar objects) datasets. I've
set them as Orange color so they show up contrasting well with other SMP5 objects. The
Object-Type abbreviations are:
| Str=Star |
| var=Variable Star |
| Dbl=Double Star |
| Tpl=Triple Star |
| 4St=Quadruple Star |
| Grp=Scattered Group of Stars |
| OCl=Open Cluster |
| Ast=Asterism |
| Glx=Galaxy |
| BHo=Black Hole |
| Qua=Quasar |
| Neb=Nebula |
In addition, where applicable, the entries are correlated with the Astronomical Leagues Observing Clubs. Their abbreviations are:
| U=Urban Club |
| DS=Double Star Club |
| H4=Herschel 400 Club |
| H2=Herschel II Club |
| BD=Binocular Deep Sky Club |
| M=Messier Club |
Hopefully others will find this external catalog useful, as I have.
