This is a copy of our own "Caldwell list" - composed by John Caldwell at SAAO. This is a list kept at our telescopes for "public viewing", open nights, etc. (SAAO is at latitude -32.38)Also note the revised copy of this list which is available at the SAAO website.
There's also an ASCII Version of this file.
