For the Winter list, the span of Right Ascension is from 03 hours to 08 hours, 59 minutes and objects are listed in ascending R.A. (J2000.0). In this list, there are twelve NGC objects, six IC objects, and seven from other catalogs. All objects are north of -40 degrees of declination. The range of photographic magnitude is from 9.6 to 14, and surface brightness varies from 5.76 to 13.65 magnitudes per square arcminute.
In Addition to the 25 objects on the list, there are several very challenging ones that now and then surface in the amateur astronomy community for those very keen eyed observers or owners of big "light buckets" - two of these objects are (1) Baade 1 (PK171-25 1) in Taurus at 03 53 35.9, +19 29 40, a type 4 PN, and (2) the Medusa Nebula, also known as Abell 21 and PK205+14 1; it is located at 07 28 59.2, +13 15 16 in Gemini. For further information on these, and others, check out Data Page 01.
Further information on items in the winter list:
‘Mink’ objects are from the Minkowski survey’s.
‘J’ objects are from the Jonckheere survey’s.
