Gallery of Caldwell Objects.
Images are a mixture of ones taken with my 8" LX200 telescope and ST-7 Camera (2001-2008) supplemented by additional images taken with new 12" LX200 telescope and ST-10XME Camera (2009-2014+)
Notes - Whilst my high latitude in Scotland, observatory wall and telescope mount have limited me to only imaging Caldwell objects between Declination +60 and -15 degs, my new telescope/new sliding roof will allow me to image objects between Declination +73 and -26 degs). - Priority targets for imaging :NGC 40 (Caldwell 2) - Dec 72.5 deg, Caldwell 9 retake, Caldwell 19 (IC 5146 / B168) Mosaic to West. Caldwell 49 (NGC 2239). More Information Full List of Caldwell Objects
