The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects


This superb, all purpose star atlas is the first of
its kind devoted to observing the Herschel objects
with binoculars and telescopes. It displays over 2,500
of the most visually attractive star clusters, nebulae,
and galaxies that were discovered by Sir William,
Caroline, and Sir John Herschel, and is a must have
for stargazers who want to explore these fascinating
objects.
Covering the entire sky from the North to
the South Celestial Pole, and showing all 88
constellations, it is also a general sky atlas showing
variable, double and multiple stars, and the Milky
Way. Written by experienced observer James
Mullaney and illustrated by renowned celestial
cartographer Wil Tirion, this is a magnificent
celestial roadmap to some of the finest deep sky
showpieces.
Spiral bound and printed in red light friendly
colors for use at a telescope, with color coded
symbols for easy recognition and identification, this
is an all purpose observing reference for all amateur
observers.

INTRODUCTION

We are very pleased to present what is the first major


star atlas devoted to the observation of the Herschel
objects some 5,000 star clusters, nebulae, and
galaxies collectively discovered by Sir William
Herschel, his sister Caroline, and son Sir John. With
the widespread growing popularity of viewing these
wonders of the heavens by amateur astronomers
today, the need for such a work clearly exists. The
one classic atlas that identified some of those objects
found by William Herschel, using his designations
(329 of them), was Nortons Star Atlas in all of its
first 17 editions. Sadly, all later revised and redrawn
versions initially re titled Nortons 2000.0 and
currently back to the original Nortons Star Atlas
dropped these labels, to the dismay of observers.
While this new atlas is primarily designed with
observation of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies
in mind, it also serves as a general purpose guide
for exploring all types of deep sky objects, showing
as it does many prominent double and multiple stars,
variable stars, asterisms, and the majestic Milky Way
itself. Additionally, it may be viewed as a companion
volume to our previous work, The Cambridge Double
Star Atlas, first published in 2009. Between these two
publications, the long standing lack of recognition
accorded the discoveries of the Herschels, and those
of the classic double star observers, by celestial
cartographers has finally been rectified.

Who were the Herschels?


Sir William Herschel
William Herschel was without question the greatest
visual observer who ever lived. Widely regarded as
the Father of Observational Astronomy, he single
handedly opened the frontiers of deep space to
telescopic exploration. In the course of his grand
scheme to study what he called the construction of
the heavens, he discovered literally thousands of
previously unknown double and multiple stars, star

clusters, nebulae, and what we know today as


galaxies. Although self taught and so technically an
amateur astronomer, he transformed the world of
professional astronomy which at the time had been
largely concerned with the solar system and the
positions of the stars.
William was born into a musical family in
Hanover, Germany, in 1739 and moved to England
around 1770. Like others members of the family,
his early career was that of a musician in his case
teaching and orchestrating music for the city of Bath.
It was while there that he became fascinated with
astronomy. (Obsessed would better describe it,
for on occasions he would actually run home during
performances to observe between acts! And later,
as a full time astronomer, he typically observed
from dusk to dawn.) He set about making his own
telescopes beginning with small refractors but soon
turned his attention instead to reflectors,
constructing entire instruments, including their
speculum metal mirrors, entirely himself. (The
familiar metal on glass telescope mirror was not
introduced until long after Herschels death in 1822.)
But he not only became the greatest telescope maker
of his day, he was also an observer the caliber of
which the world had never seen before. He used
these homemade instruments to sweep the heavens
for unexplored celestial treasure, his initial review
being undertaken with a 7 foot Newtonian
reflector at a magnification of 227. (At that time
telescopes were designated by their length rather
than by their aperture.) This resulted in his first
catalog of double and multiple stars. It also produced
one of the greatest discoveries in the history of
observational astronomy made by a totally
unknown amateur!
While sweeping the sky in the constellation of
Gemini on the night of March 13, 1781, Herschel
came across a small greenish disk of light. Careful
observation showed that it was slowly moving among
the stars, leading him to believe that it was a

The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects

strange looking comet. Others agreed with him and


for nearly a year mathematicians attempted to
calculate an orbit on that basis. All attempts failed
and it was finally realized that Herschel had, in fact,
found another planet! This was the first such world
ever discovered (the five naked eye planets having
been known since antiquity) and it effectively
doubled the size of the solar system. It apparently
had never entered anyones mind that there actually
could be more planets lying beyond those already
known. This electrifying and unprecedented
discovery catapulted William Herschel to instant
fame and brought him to the attention of King
George III, who appointed him his private
astronomer. This honor brought with it a salary
sufficient to allow Herschel to give up his musical
duties and spend all his time on astronomy.

Caroline Herschel
Any account of the work of William Herschel would
be incomplete without mention of his devoted sister,
Caroline Herschel. She assisted him both at the
telescope at night and in the arduous work of
recording and reducing his many discoveries in
preparation for their eventual publication. This was
in addition to taking care of household duties
including meals (even mouth feeding and reading to
her brother as he polished his mirrors for hours on
end!). She became the leading woman astronomer of
her day and the first to find a comet, her record of
eight discoveries having stood for nearly two
centuries. She observed with a small 27 inch focus
Newtonian comet sweeper made expressly for her
by William, using it to scan the sky on her own when
he was away at meetings or showing the stars to the
King and his court. Thus, a number of her own deep
sky discoveries are contained in Sir Williams catalog.
One of the authors personal favorites is the lovely
rich open cluster designated H VI 30 (or NGC
7789) in Cassiopeia, which the author named
Carolines Cluster many years ago in her honor.

Sir John Herschel


William Herschel married late in life, having a son
named John Frederick William, or John for short.
Like his father and his Aunt Caroline, John Herschel

also became famous as an astronomer. But in


addition he was a gifted mathematician and
scientist in other fields; among other activities he
experimented with photography and took the oldest
existing photograph on a glass plate (a ghostly image
of his fathers 40 foot telescope). John is best
known for completing his fathers survey of the
northern sky and (especially) then extending it to the
southern sky as well. He spent four years sweeping
the heavens from Cape Town, South Africa,
having taken his fathers favorite telescope the
Large 20 foot reflector there and discovering
thousands of previously unknown double stars,
clusters, and nebulae. He returned to England in
1838 a national hero for this work, receiving among
many other honors knighthood. John issued a
compendium of his findings titled The General
Catalog of Nebulae, and later a combined one
containing all of his and his fathers telescopic
discoveries totaling some 5,000 in all (including a
few by other observers). This work eventually became
the basis for the famed New General Catalogue of
Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (or NGC), which was
published in 1888. Only a hint can be gleaned of
the incredible life and works of this remarkable family
of astronomers from the brief account given here.
Those desiring to know more about the Herschels
are strongly encouraged to consult the various
references given below, which make fascinating
reading especially on cloudy nights!

The Herschels telescopes


Early instruments
It will be instructive to say something about the
telescopes the Herschels used to make their
discoveries and to compare their performance with
modern instruments. William Herschel began his
telescope making career in 1773 by experimenting
with relatively small refractors. But as these were
then still optically primitive compared with todays
glasses, he soon turned his attention to reflectors.
These could be made in larger sizes and without
concern for the quality of optical glass, for they used
mirrors instead of lenses. But these werent the
familiar telescope mirrors of today, as metal on glass

The Herschels telescopes

optics did not appear until long after Herschels


death. Instead, they were made of speculum metal
a hard brittle casting composed mainly of copper and
tin. Herschel first made several mirrors for a 5.5 foot
Gregorian reflector, but then turned to the simpler
Newtonian form. All of his telescopes from that
point on were long focus Newtonians of ever
increasing size, culminating in the great 40 foot
reflector (see below). He soon produced a 7 foot
reflector, probably with an aperture of around
6 inches. He also made several 9 inch mirrors for
a 10 foot reflector (and much later a 10 foot with
a 24 inch mirror), followed by 20 foot models with
12 and 18.7 inch mirrors as described below. But
his favorite early reflector was another 7 foot which
contained a most capital speculum as he described
it, of 6.2 inches aperture. This is the telescope that
he used for his first review of the heavens and the
one with which he discovered the planet Uranus.
While most of the objects Herschel found in this
first review with his prized 7 footer were double and
multiple stars, he also found a number of his early
clusters and nebulae with it. (It should be mentioned
here that in his day, and long thereafter, galaxies were
not yet recognized as such, being simply lumped
under the category of nebulae.)

The 20-foot telescopes


Herschels two workhorse telescopes those used
for all his later various reviews of the heavens were
his 20 foot reflectors. The earlier and smaller of
these in terms of aperture (referred to as the
Small 20 Foot) used 12 inch aperture mirrors,
while the larger and later instrument (called the
Large 20 Foot) used 18.7 inch mirrors. Note that
mirrors is plural, since several were needed for each
telescope the one that was currently in use, and at
least one in the process of being repolished and
refigured because of the rapidity with which
speculum metal tarnished! The 18.7 inch became
Herschels most useful telescope and in later years he
even preferred it to the massive 40 foot one, for it
was both much easier to use and the mirrors
performed better (not to mention that they were also
vastly easier to make and keep ready). It was in
constant use on clear nights from dusk to dawn,

revealing over 2,000 previously unknown star clusters


and nebulae. Owing to the huge light loss at each
reflected surface of his reflectors, Herschel eventually
decided to dispense with the secondary mirror in the
Newtonian form. Instead, he tilted the primary
mirror so that its focus could be examined off axis
directly at the front of the tube a form he referred
to as the front view. This concept is still used in
some amateur made telescopes today, but its now
known as the Herschelian in honor of its inventor.
And while loss of reflectivity is not the concern today
that it was in Herschels time, moving the secondary
mirror and its support out of the optical path
essentially gives the unobstructed performance of a
refractor combined with total freedom from the color
aberrations inherent in lenses.
It has frequently been stated that a modern 6 to
8 inch telescope will show a large percentage of the
objects in the Herschel catalogs (including many of
Williams faint and very faint nebulae), and that a
good 12 inch should reveal every one of them even
though most were found using the large 20 foot
instrument. This is largely possible, of course,
because of the much higher reflectivity of todays
coated glass telescope mirrors and to a lesser extent
because of modern eyepieces as well. (The Herschels
primarily used single lens oculars; multiple element
designs and antireflection coatings lay far in the
future.) The author fully agrees with this assessment,
based on half a century of viewing these wonders
with telescopes of many different types ranging from
2 inches to 14 inches (and on occasion up to 30
inches both reflectors and refractors) in aperture.

The great 40-foot telescope


Sir Williams most ambitious telescope making
project and, indeed, the most ambitious in history up
to that time, was the construction of his Great
40 Foot reflector with its 48 inch mirror (or 4 feet
in diameter, resulting in a focal ratio of f/10).
He received financial support for this massive
undertaking from the King, as well an annual
allowance for upkeep of the telescope once it was
completed. Herschel actually made several mirrors
for it before he finally was able to get one that would
take an acceptable polish and figure. In 1787, using

The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects

one of its first mirrors, Herschel climbed into the


mouth of the huge tube and searched for the focus.
His target was the Orion Nebula, which he described
as extremely bright but the figure was far from
perfect. On later attempts he used Saturn as his test
object, discovering several new satellites while at it.
Some idea of the light grasp of this instrument can
be had from this famous account of the star Sirius as
seen through it:
. . . the appearance of Sirius announced itself, . . . and
came on by degrees, increasing in brightness, till this
brilliant star at last entered the field of view of the
telescope, with all the splendour of the rising sun, and
forced me to take the eye from that beautiful sight.
Regular work with the telescope finally began in
1789. But Herschel was never pleased with the
telescopes performance. That very few of the objects
contained in the Herschel catalogue were actually
discovered with the 40 foot certainly confirms this
statement. How very sad for Sir William after all his
labors over this great instrument! But while it was a
disappointment for him, it certainly was not for the
many sightseers who came to gawk at this wonder of
the ages, including royalty and dignitaries of all
levels, and noted scientists from the world over. Even
today, the image of Herschels mammoth 40 foot
telescope remains one of the great if not the
greatest icons of astronomical history, surpassed
perhaps only by the Hubble Space Telescope itself.
And here two very important facts need to be
pointed out. First, all of Herschels many telescopes,
including the 40 foot, were mounted as simple
altazimuths, being moved about the sky and tracked
manually. Secondly, they were all mounted outside of
his various residences in the open night air.
Amazingly, for all his fame and discoveries, Sir
William never had an observatory!

The Herschel designations


William Herschels classes
Despite Sir Williams pioneering discoveries in the
fields of solar system and stellar astronomy, its his
deep space explorations for which he is best known
and remembered. Some 2,500 star clusters and

nebulae (which included many galaxies, again the


true nature of which was unrecognized at that time)
were catalogued under the following eight categories,
or classes as he called them, with the total number
of objects in each indicated in parentheses:
Class I Bright Nebulae (288)
Class II Faint Nebulae (909)
Class III Very Faint Nebulae (984)
Class IV Planetary Nebulae (78)
Class V Very Large Nebulae (52)
Class VI Very Compressed and Rich Clusters of
Stars (42)
Class VII Compressed Clusters of Small (Faint)
and Large (Bright) Stars (67)
Class VIII Coarsely Scattered Clusters of Stars (88)
Thus, Williams entire catalogue contains a total of
2,508 entries, with Classes II and III accounting for
1,893 of them. (Note that the actual number of
objects is somewhat less than this, since some three
dozen were either inexplicably assigned to more than
one class or were entered twice in the same class.)
Such a large number of targets (with a great
percentage of them being labeled faint and very faint
by their discoverer, who used the largest telescopes in
the world at the time to find them) has discouraged
many observers from attempting to view the entire
catalog. The author suggested some years ago in both
Sky & Telescope and Astronomy magazines that a
much more realistic goal could be had by dropping
Classes II and III as largely difficult and visually
less interesting specimens, and going after the
remaining 615 objects. This suggestion was the
motivation for the founding of a national Herschel
Club in the United States under the auspices of
the Astronomical League (see the reference section
on pages 423 for more about this).
Out of respect for Messiers work, William
Herschel included relatively few of the famed
M objects in his own compilations. Those he did
include refer to features within those objects
apparently unnoticed by Messier, as well as two of
the infamous missing M objects (M 47 and M 48).
Also included were the ones numbered from M 104
to M 110. These objects were only attributed to
Messier long after Herschels time, later historical

The Herschel designations

research showing that they had indeed been seen by


Messier (or one of his colleagues) but were not
included in his original catalog. In Sir Johns case, he
did assign his own numbers to most of the Messier
objects, as can be seen from the target list in
Appendix B. Some may wonder why he included so
many of Messiers discoveries along with his own.
Noted astronomical historian Michael Hoskin
explains it this way: John was preparing a catalogue
of clusters and nebulae for efficient use by observers
and it would have been bizarre to omit the most
prominent [of them]. William, by contrast, was
acting the natural historian and offering new
specimens he had collected.
It should be noted that none of William
Herschels objects will be found below a declination
of about 33 degrees owing to the rather high
latitude of his various observing sites around
London. Had he been able to see even another 7 to
10 degrees further south, he would surely have laid
claim to (and been thrilled by!) such wonders as the
big, bright galaxies NGC 1316 and NGC 1365 in
Fornax, and NGC 55 and NGC 300 in Sculptor; or
the radiantly glorious open cluster NGC 2477 in
Puppis; or the fascinating planetary NGC 3132 in
Vela (the Eight Burst Planetary rival of the
northern skys famed Ring Nebula in Lyra). Instead,
these were left to his son to find during his later
survey of the southern sky. John did not use specific
classes in his catalog of discoveries as his father had
but a running number instead. (He also sometimes
unintentionally gave two different numbers to the
same object on different occasions.) Under the
Name/Notes column in the target list in Appendix
B, numbers are also given by John for many of
Williams objects, these being the ones he assigned
during his re survey of his fathers discoveries. Note
also those objects designated in that column by
CH. These are ones originally discovered by
Caroline Herschel and later included in her
brothers catalog.

position), theres the case of objects the Herschels


discovered and catalogued but which supposedly
cant be found in the sky today! Many of these
disappearances have involved entries in Williams
Class VIII, which are coarsely scattered clusters of
stars that were described as poor by him. As such,
they are often difficult to pick out from the stellar
background since most open clusters lie along the
plane of the Milky Ways rich stratum of stars. The
modern story of Herschel objects apparently having
vanished from the sky really dates back to 1973 when
The Revised New General Catalogue of Nonstellar
Astronomical Objects (or RNGC) was published by
astronomers Jack Sulentic and William Tifft. The
primary reference for this comprehensive work was
photographs taken for the famed National
Geographical SocietyPalomar Observatory Sky
Survey with the 48 inch Schmidt camera on Palomar
Mountain, home of the 200 inch Hale reflector.
Objects that could not be identified on the large
scale plate prints were given a type code of 7 in
the RNGC, meaning they are nonexistent. (They
are indicated for objects in the Appendix B target list
by NE under Type.) These included no fewer
than 30 of the 88 clusters in William Herschels
Class VIII alone. As a point of interest, it should be
mentioned here that the RNGC compilers also
rejected a number of John Herschels clusters as not
existing in addition to those of his father. In 1975
two Canadian amateur astronomers Patrick
Brennan and David Ambrosi began examining the
sky for these missing objects using a modest 6 inch
reflector. As Brennan later wrote, Have you ever
encountered a nonexistent RNGC cluster alive and
well, so to speak? These observers found that many of
the rejected Herschel clusters actually were visible in
the eyepiece even if they werent distinguishable on the
Palomar prints, and so were not really missing after all.
Based on the authors personal experience, most of the
missing Herschel objects do, in fact, exist and offer
observers a wonderful challenge to identify them.

Nonexistent objects

Miscataloged objects

In a situation analogous to the saga of the famed


missing Messier objects (which have now all been
accounted for as errors in identification and/or

A fair number of William Herschels discoveries were


cataloged in the wrong class (and to a lesser extent
those of John as well). As just one striking example,

The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects

theres H IV 50 (NGC 6229) in Hercules. William


considered this little object to be a planetary nebula
and so it was long viewed to be such by most of the
classic observers. And indeed, it does look like a
typical planetary in the eyepiece. But, in reality, its a
globular cluster that apparently was beyond the
resolution capabilities of his telescopes. And many
other small globular clusters were assigned to Class I
as nebulae. (In Johns case, a number of objects listed
by him as globulars are in reality tight open clusters.)
Likewise, Class IV actually contains many diffuse
nebulae and more galaxies than true planetaries!
Such misidentifications as these are hardly
unexpected, for nothing was known at the time of
the actual physical nature of most of the nebulous
objects seen in the eyepiece, spectroscopic analysis
and astrophysics still lying in the future. The
Herschels based the classification of their discoveries
solely upon their visual appearance in their various
telescopes. But all of this adds to the fascination of
viewing these objects, as we attempt to verify their
eyepiece impressions and to see why the Herschels
placed them in the classes they did. And, while
having to rely strictly on what these objects looked
like to the eye resulted in a sizeable number of
objects being misclassified, in other cases this
reliance led to some profound insights and
discoveries. One example with important historical
significance involves the planetary nebula H IV 69
(NGC 1514) in Taurus, which appears as an obvious
nebulous halo surrounding a 9th magnitude star
even in small telescopes. Here is Sir Williams
description of this object: A most singular
phenomenon! A star of about 8th magnitude with a
faint luminous atmosphere, of circular form, and
about 3 minutes in diameter. The star is in the
centre, and the atmosphere is so faint and delicate
and equal throughout that there can be no surmise of
it consisting of stars; nor can there be a doubt of the
evident connexion between the atmosphere and the
star. Thus he recognized for the first time the
existence of a shining fluid of a nature totally
unknown to us as he described it. Until this
observation, all diffuse nebulae were thought to be
simply unresolved masses of stars. This amazing
deduction based solely on the appearance of this object

in the eyepiece of the telescope showed nebulae to


be gaseous long before the spectroscope actually
proved it! Such is the power of really seeing what it
is you are looking at in the eyepiece, as Sir William
himself advised.
Finally, mention should be made that William
Herschels various discoveries originally appeared as
papers in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal
Society of London in the late 1700s. In 1864, John
Herschel published his monumental General Catalogue
of Nebulae (or GC) also in the Transactions, its more
than 5,000 entries having been found mostly by
his father and himself. Based heavily on the GC,
J.L.E. Dreyer subsequently compiled the famed New
General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (or
NGC). Its 7,840 entries contain among them the only
complete listing of all of Sir Williams and Sir Johns
discoveries outside of the GC itself, providing
shorthand descriptive notations that they invented.
These were adopted by Dreyer, and in some cases added
to in the light of more recent (at that time) knowledge.

Overlooked objects
As thoroughly as the three Herschels swept the skies
(especially those visible from England), they still
inexplicably missed a number of fascinating objects
all of which are visible in typical backyard telescopes
today. Among these are the Helix Nebula in
Aquarius, the Flaming Star Nebula in Auriga,
Stephans/Webbs Protoplanetary Nebula in Cygnus
(which rivals the famed Blinking Planetary also in
Cygnus so named by the author in 1963 from its
amazing behavior which Sir William did discover),
Barnards Dwarf Galaxy in Sagittarius, and Hinds
Variable Nebula in Taurus. One of the authors
favorite overlooked objects is the big but dim open
cluster NGC 6791 in Lyra. This amazingly rich
swarm hosts over 300 stars and looks very much like
a globular cluster, both visually and on photographs.

Map parameters and selection criteria


The 32 maps comprising this Atlas were planned,
drawn and labeled by Wil Tirion, widely recognized
as the worlds greatest celestial cartographer and
creator of such classic works as the magnificent Sky
Atlas 2000.0 and The Cambridge Double Star Atlas.

Instrumental factors

They show over 2,500 of the brighter Herschel


objects suitable for viewing with typical backyard
telescopes in the 2 inch to 14 inch aperture range. In
addition to this introductory guide to the Atlas, the
original target list in Appendix B and the showpiece
roster below were compiled by James Mullaney based
on his personal observations of thousands of
Herschel objects over the past 50 years ones using
literally hundreds of telescopes of all types and sizes
within the aperture range stated above. No doubt
experienced observers will have favorites that are not
shown, but those that are certainly include the best of
the Herschels discoveries. (All 400 objects on the
Astronomical Leagues Herschel 400 Club target list
are also included, being designated with an asterisk
there.) All told, some 25,000 stars are plotted in half
magnitude steps on the maps to a visual magnitude
limit of 7.5. The nominal visual magnitude cutoff for
the Herschel objects themselves is 12.5. However,
some fainter ones are included that have special
appeal. In the case of Classes I, IV, V, VI, VII, and
VIII, every object in each class, whatever its
magnitude, is shown in order to provide observers
with the complete contents of these six visually
rewarding groups (those suggested by the author as
the basis for creating Herschel clubs). Note that all of
William Herschels objects appear on the maps
without an H prefix (since his classes clearly
identify his discoveries), while John Herschels have
an h prefix. And while mentioning dim objects
below the map limit, its very important to point out
here that many of the Herschel objects plotted often
have one or more fainter objects lying within the same
wide, low-power eyepiece field (ones found by the
Herschels and by others)! Thus, the field of view
should always be scrutinized for these in addition to
the primary target itself.
A magnitude scale and color coded key to the
symbols used to denote various types of deep sky
objects appear at the top of each map. Note that the
edges of the maps have blue arrowed numbers
indicating adjoining ones (with some overlap) in
each direction, which will be found very helpful in
navigating the Atlas. Also, soft lavender lines have
been used to connect the principal stars in each
constellation, the boundaries of which are indicated

by dashed lavender lines. (Note that all of the lines


used are red light friendly, remaining visible when
employing such illumination to preserve night
vision.) These so called stick figures also aid in
finding your way around the sky. Many observers
today use computerized (Go To) target acquisition,
and most of the brighter Herschels plotted on the
maps particularly those given in the showpiece
roster below can be located by entering their NGC
designation, common name and/or coordinates on
the controllers keypad. (Again, see Appendix B for
data on all objects plotted.) To many of us purists,
this modern technology takes away much of the fun
of good old fashioned star hopping (or sweeping
as the Herschels did) to learn and find your way
around the sky which is really one of the primary
purposes of a star atlas like this and one of the joys
of leisurely stargazing!

Instrumental factors
Light-grasp, resolution and magnification
There are three types of power used in describing a
telescopes capabilities. The one uppermost in most
beginners minds is magnification, but it is actually
the least important of the three. The primary one for
viewing the Herschel objects (the majority of which
are faint compared with other types of celestial
objects) is its light-gathering power. Simply stated,
the larger the telescope, the more light it collects and
the brighter the image it delivers. And its paramount
here to realize that doubling the aperture of a telescope
quadruples the amount of light collected, since the area
of the objective lens or primary mirror increases as
the square of its diameter. Next in importance is the
telescopes resolving power, or ability to reveal fine
detail in an image. Much has been written in the
literature over the years about the resolution
capabilities of various apertures, particularly in
regards to the splitting of close double stars. The
best known and most widely used of the various
resolution criteria is the famed Dawes Limit,
R 4.56/A, where R is the resolution in arc seconds
and A is the telescopes aperture in inches. (For much
more about this see the introductory section of The
Cambridge Double Star Atlas.) The primary factor at

The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects

play in determining if a given telescope will resolve


tight clusters, or show structure in a nebula or galaxy
(aside from atmospheric conditions) is aperture. And
in this case, when the aperture is doubled, so too is
the resolution a telescope twice as big as another
one will show twice as much detail (assuming they
are both of the same optical quality). In achieving
optimum results here (particularly in the case of
resolving fine planetary detail or splitting close
double stars), the telescope should be used at what is
known as its resolving magnification. This is
typically given as 25 per inch of aperture, which
leads us to a telescopes magnifying power, or how
many times bigger it makes an object than what the
unaided eye sees. Observers typically employ a range
of low, medium, and high powers on their
instruments. Recommended magnifications for
viewing a Herschel object depend on what type it is.
For big scattered open clusters or extensive
nebulosities (and even a few of the largest galaxies),
the lowest possible power and widest field of view
(which depends on eyepiece design) give the most
pleasing results. The same applies in the initial
sweeping for objects to find them. In the case of rich,
compact open clusters and tight globulars, medium
magnifications typically give the best view. The same
goes for the smaller diffuse nebulae and most
planetaries, and also for galaxies in general. Unless
the atmosphere is steady, high powers can give a
washed out appearance to the image and typically
greatly restrict the field of view. But they are still
worth trying on all but the very largest of objects to
see if any additional details are revealed.
Another factor affecting telescopic image quality
aside from atmospheric conditions (see below) is that
known as local seeing or the thermal conditions in
and around the telescope itself. Heat radiating from
driveways, walks and streets, houses and other
structures (especially on nights following hot days)
plays a significant role. This is why observing from
grassy areas away from buildings gives the best
results. The cooling of the telescopes optics and tube
assembly is especially critical to achieving sharp
images. Depending on the season of the year, it may
take up to an hour or more for the optics (especially
the primary mirror in larger reflectors) to reach

equilibrium with the cooling night air. During this


cool down process, air currents within the telescope
tube itself can play absolute havoc with image
quality, no matter how good the optics and
atmospheric seeing are. (This is less of a concern
using refractors with their closed tubes, which in
smaller apertures at least are essentially ready for
immediate use.) Surprisingly, even the heat radiating
from the observers body can be a factor here if
concerned with optimum resolution, particularly
with reflecting telescopes having open tubed
truss style designs. For much more on all aspects of
telescopes and their use, see A Buyers and Users
Guide to Astronomical Telescopes and Binoculars, by the
author (Springer Verlag, London, 2007).

Optical quality and collimation


For the casual observation of the Moon, planets and
brighter deep sky wonders, a telescope of even
mediocre optical quality can provide acceptable
views. But for optimum viewing, good to excellent
optical quality is essential. The condition of a
telescopes optics and its all important optical
alignment can readily be determined by a simple test
using a star itself. Known as the extrafocal image test,
this involves looking at the image of a star, both
inside and outside of focus, using a medium to
high power eyepiece. An ideal target for this purpose
is Polaris in Ursa Minor (the Pole Star), which is
neither too bright nor too faint, and has the great
added advantage of not moving in the eyepiece as the
Earth rotates, in case your instrument isnt
motorized! A telescope having first class (or
diffraction limited) optics in perfect alignment (or
collimation see below) will show identical circular
disks of light with a pattern of faint concentric
interference rings on either side of focus as the
eyepiece is racked in and out. These rings should be
uniformly spaced and of even intensity. If not, this
indicates zones in the optical figure a condition
known as spherical aberration. A shaggy look to
the rings indicates a rough polish to the glass rather
than the desired smooth one. If the extrafocal images
are triangular rather than circular, this shows that the
objective lens or mirror is pinched in its cell.
Elliptical shaped images that rotate 90 degrees on

Observing hints

either side of focus are the most to be feared, since


they reveal the serious optical defect known as
astigmatism or a warping of the glass itself.
However, astigmatism in the observers own eye, a
bad eyepiece, and especially optical misalignment can
each produce the same effect!
Optical collimation is an entire subject unto itself.
The term describes that condition in which all of the
optical elements in a telescope are precisely lined up
on the same optical axis something that can be
achieved by examining the extrafocal image (among
other methods) while adjusting the alignment. The
need for and actual process of collimation depends
upon the type of instrument being used. Refractors
and MaksutovCassegrains are typically permanently
collimated, and in many cases no provision is even
made for adjustment. Reflectors and Schmidt
Cassegrains typically do require periodic collimation,
instructions for which are normally included in the
manuals provided with commercially made
telescopes. For optimum resolution and image
contrast, a precisely collimated telescope is an
absolute must. (The ultimate reference on
interpreting extrafocal images and testing/
collimating telescope optics is Harold Richard
Suiters Star Testing Astronomical Telescopes: A Manual
for Optical Evaluation and Adjustment, Willmann
Bell, Inc., Richmond VA, 2009.) And one final note
here: the extrafocal image test also makes it possible
to judge something of the seeing conditions, ranging
from local conditions within and immediately above
the telescope to the upper atmosphere itself.
Undulating waves and flashing patterns of light
crossing over the image can say much about the
steadiness of the atmosphere, as well as the
telescopes thermal state and environment. Careful
focusing will reveal moving patterns seemingly
floating at different levels above the light path
and (with experience) show if disturbances are
atmospheric, or are within the telescope itself or
its immediate vicinity.

Observing hints
Its often claimed that the person behind the eyepiece
of a telescope is far more important than the size or
type or quality of the instrument itself. The truth of

this adage has proven itself time and again. Typical


examples are that of a skilled observer using a small
telescope seeing intricate detail on a planet like
Jupiter or Mars at opposition, or subtle structure in a
nebula or galaxy, that completely escapes an
inexperienced observer using a much larger aperture.
The fact is that the eye does not work alone, but in
conjunction with the most marvelous image
processor known the human brain! It was Sir
William Herschel himself, the greatest visual
observer of all time, who said that seeing is an art
and that as observers we must properly educate our
eyes to really see what it is we are looking at in the
eyepiece. And so this section is aimed at helping you
get the most out of your nightly explorations of the
heavens especially in the observation of the star
clusters, nebulae and galaxies discovered by the
Herschels.

Training the eye


There are several distinct areas in which the human
eye/brain combination can be educated to see
better. We begin with two of especial importance
when it comes to looking at Herschel objects. The
first involves the technique of using averted (or side)
vision in viewing faint deep sky targets. This makes
use of the well known fact that the outer portion of
the retina of the eye that containing the receptors
called rods is much more sensitive to low levels of
illumination than is the center of the eye containing
the receptors known as cones. (See the discussion
below on color perception.) This explains the
common experience when driving at night of objects
seen out of the corner of your eye appearing brighter
than they actually are if you turn and look directly at
them. Averted vision is especially useful in viewing
low surface brightness targets like nebulae and
galaxies, where the increase in the apparent brightness
of the image is typically more than doubled.
The second area is that of dark adaptation. Its an
obvious fact that the eyes needs time to adjust to the
dark after coming out of a brightly lit room. Two
factors are at play here. One is the dilation of the
pupils themselves, which begins immediately upon
entering the dark and continues for several minutes.
The other involves the actual chemistry of the eye,

10

The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects

as the hormone rhodopsin (often called visual


purple) stimulates the sensitivity of the rods to low
levels of illumination. The combined result is that
night vision improves noticeably for perhaps half an
hour or so, continuing slowly thereafter. This
explains why the sky looks black on first going
outside, but later appears gray as you fully adjust to
the dark. In the first instance, its a contrast effect
and in the second the eye has become sensitive to
stray light, light pollution, and the natural airglow of
the sky itself that were not seen initially. White
lighting causes the eye to lose its sensitivity while red
light preserves it, which is the reason for the well
known standard practice of using red illumination for
reading star maps and making notes at the eyepiece.
Another aspect of training the eye is that of visual
acuity the ability to see or resolve fine detail in an
image or in splitting close double stars. Theres no
question that the more time you spend at the
eyepiece, the more detail you will eventually see.
Even without any real purposeful training plan in
mind, the eye/brain combination will learn to search
for and find ever finer detail in what it is viewing.
But this process can be considerably accelerated by a
simple exercise repeated daily for a period of several
weeks. On a piece of white paper, draw a circle about
3 inches in diameter. Then using a soft pencil,
randomly place various markings within the circle,
ranging from broad patchy shadings to fine lines and
points. Now place the paper at the opposite side of a
room at least 20 feet or so away, and begin drawing
what you see using the unaided eye. Initially, only the
larger markings will be evident, but as you repeat this
process over a period of time, more and more of the
markings will become visible to you. Tests have
shown improvements in overall visual acuity by as
much as a factor of 10 from using such a procedure!
A final important area involving the eye/brain
combination is that of color perception. At first glance,
to the unaided eye the stars all appear to be white.
But, upon closer inspection, differences in tint among
the brighter ones reveal themselves. The lovely
contrasting hues of ruddy orange Betelgeuse and
blue white Rigel in the constellation of Orion is one
striking example visible in the evening sky around

January and February. Another can be found by


comparing blue white Vega in Lyra, orange Arcturus
in Bootes and ruddy Antares in Scorpius seen best
together in the evening sky in July. Indeed, the sky is
alive with color once youve been trained to see it!
While the rods in the edge of the eye are light
sensitive, they are essentially colorblind. Thus, for
viewing the tints of stars in the more prominent open
clusters, the subtle coloration of the brighter diffuse
nebulae, and the eerie unearthly tints of many of
the planetaries, direct vision should be employed
making use of the color sensitive cones at the center
of the eye. In short, stare directly at an object to
perceive its color and off to the side to see it brighter.

Sky conditions
A number of atmospheric and related factors affect
the visibility and appearance of celestial objects in
the telescope. In the case of resolving tight open
clusters or compact globulars, or seeing detail within
nebulae or galaxies, the most important of these is
atmospheric turbulence or seeing, which is an
indication of the steadiness of the image. On some
nights, the air is so unsteady (or boiling as its
sometimes referred to) that star images appear as
big puffy, shimmering balls, and detail on the Moon
and planets is all but nonexistent. This typically
happens on nights of high transparency those
having crystal clear skies in which the air overhead is
in a state of rapid motion and agitation. These nights
are ideal for viewing faint objects like nebulae and
remote galaxies. On other nights, fine detail stands
out on the Moon and planets like an artists etching
and star images are nearly pinpoints showing
virtually no motion. Such nights are often hazy and/
or muggy, indicating stagnant tranquil air over the
observers head, making them poor for viewing faint
fuzzies. Occasionally, observers are blessed with
nights of both good seeing and transparency (such as
those typically found at many of the worlds major
mountaintop observatories). Such opportunities
should be utilized to the fullest and often result in
all nighters in which observing sessions begin after
sunset and continue until dawn! Various seeing
scales are employed by observers to quantify the

Observing hints

state of atmospheric steadiness and transparency.


One of the most common of these uses a 1 to 5
numerical scale, with 1 indicating poor, 3 average,
and 5 excellent conditions. Others employ
a 1 to 10 system, with 1 again representing very
poor and 10 representing virtually perfect sky
conditions. (In some schemes, the numerical
sequence is reversed, with lower numbers indicating
better and higher numbers poorer conditions.)
Casual observing can usually be done on all but the
worst of nights (which includes those around the
time of the Full Moon when the sky is flooded with
light), but optimum views of the Herschel objects
(especially the fainter ones) demand excellent
conditions.

Record-keeping
From a strictly personal perspective, an account of
what has been seen during your nightly vigils under
the stars can have a wonderful impact as you look
back over the years at the first views of particular
Herschel objects (or celestial wonders in general).
Your eyepiece impressions recorded on paper
(written and/or sketched) or perhaps audio taped
can provide many hours of nostalgic pleasure in years
to come. For casual deep sky observing in particular,
theres definite aesthetic value in logging the various
objects seen (especially the showpiece ones!),
including the degree of visibility in a given telescope
at a particular magnification under various sky
conditions. In the case of those desiring a coveted
Astronomical League Herschel 400 Club Certificate
for observing all the entries on its target list (which
are indicated with asterisks in Appendix B), you
must submit documentation along the following
lines. The information in your logbook should
ideally include: the date, and beginning and end
times of your observations (preferably Universal
Time/Date); telescope size, type and brand used;
magnification/s employed; sky conditions (seeing
and transparency, along with notes on passing clouds,
wind, haze, moonlight and other sources of light
pollution); and finally a brief description of each
object seen. And here, despite its ultimate value, its
strongly advised to keep your journaling as brief as

11

possible. Some observers spend far more time writing


about the wonders they see at the eyepiece than they
actually do viewing them!

Personal considerations
There are a number of little recognized factors that
affect the enjoyment and success of an observing
session at the telescope, one of which concerns
proper dress. This is of particular importance in the
cold winter months of the year, when sub freezing
temperatures are often experienced at night. Its
impossible to be effective at the eyepiece, or even to
just appreciate the views, when youre half frozen
to death! Proper protection of the head, hands and
feet are especially important during such times,
and several layers of clothing are recommended as
opposed to one heavy one for thermal insulation of
the body in general. During the summer months, the
opposite problem occurs as observers attempt to stay
cool. And, in addition to very short nights at this
time of year, theres the added annoyance of flying
insects and optics fogging humidity and dew.
Another concern is proper posture at the telescope.
Its been repeatedly shown that the eye sees more
detail in a comfortably seated position than when
standing, twisting or bending at the eyepiece! If you
must stand, be sure that the eyepiece/focuser is at a
level and position where you dont have to strain your
neck and head to look into it. And, while not as
critical, the same goes for positioning finder scopes
where they can be reached without undue
contortions. Finally, proper rest and diet both play a
role in experiencing a pleasurable observing session.
Attempting to stargaze when youre physically and/
or mentally exhausted is guaranteed to leave you
frustrated. Even a brief nap before going out to
observe after a hectic day is a real help here. Heavy
meals can make you feel sluggish and unable to
function alertly at the telescope. Its much better to
refuel after youre done stargazing especially since
most observers find themselves famished then
(particularly on cold nights). Various liquid
refreshments such as tea, coffee and hot chocolate
can provide a needed energy boost while observing
(and warmth when desired).

The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects

We conclude this section on an aesthetic and


philosophical note. Theres no question that the
more you know about the wonders revealed by a
telescope the more meaning they will hold for you.
Realizing in the case of the Herschel objects that the
stellar beehive youre viewing contains upwards of a
million suns and that the light you see it by left there
25,000 years ago when cavemen were still hunting
mastodons certainly adds to the thrill of the view.
So too does that misty gossamer patch of light in the
eyepiece when you know it represents a stellar
nursery where new stars (and their planets) are
forming right before your eyes, or in other cases
involving small spheroids and ellipsoids when you
are witnessing the death throes of a dying sun. The
ultimate example of this process of seeing with your
mind as well as sight involves galaxies. That dimly
perceived elongated glow in the eyepiece may contain
as many as half a trillion stars, and the light youre
seeing from them left there millions of years ago
while the dinosaurs were roaming the Earth. You are
getting archaic photons that were once inside of
these vast star cities inside of you ending their long
journey through space and time on the retina of your
eye (an experience the author calls making the
photon connection)! This matter of preparedness
before going to the telescope has likely never been
more eloquently expressed than in the following lines
from Charles Edward Barns 1929 classic work, 1001
Celestial Wonders:
Let me learn all that is known of them,
Love them for the joy of loving.
For, as a traveler in far countries
Brings back only what he takes,
So shall the scope of my foreknowledge
Measure the depth of their profit and charm to me.
Lo, the Star-lords are assembling,
And the banquet-board is set;
We approach with fear and trembling,
But we leave them with regret.

Herschel showpieces
Following is a sampling of 215 of the best
Herschel objects shown in this Atlas for viewing with
telescopes from 2 inches to 14 inches in aperture.

Many of these can be seen in the smallest of glasses,


and some of them even in binoculars. Arranged in
order of increasing Right Ascension, the first
column (Herschel) gives the class and number from
Sir Williams catalog, or Sir Johns catalog number.
The next one shows the New General Catalogue
number, plus Messier designation if any (NGC/M).
Constellation (Con) abbreviations are the official
three letter ones adopted by the International
Astronomical Union (see Appendix A). Right
Ascension (RA) in hours and minutes, and
Declination (Dec) in degrees and minutes, are for
the current standard Epoch 2000.0. Other headings
are the apparent visual magnitude (Mag) and
apparent angular size in arc minutes (Size). The
objects actual class or type (Type) is indicated using
the following abbreviations: OC open cluster, GC
globular cluster, PN planetary nebula, DN diffuse
nebula, SR supernova remnant, GX galaxy, NE
nonexistent. Note that this may differ in many
cases from what the Herschels assigned to it and
that galaxies were not recognized as such in their
time. Map number (Map no.) indicates those on
which the object is plotted on the charts in this
Atlas. In the case of those numbers shown in italics,
the object is plotted but unlabeled, being covered
by the two larger scale maps. (Name/Notes) gives
the popular name/s (if any), comments by the
author, and the NGC description in italics based
primarily on Sir Williams or Sir Johns eyepiece
impressions. Note that the magnitudes stated in
these descriptions often depart markedly from
modern values, especially in the case of the fainter
stars in clusters. CH indicates one of the objects
originally discovered by Caroline Herschel. The
approximate distance in light years (LY) is also
given in many cases. Primary data sources
used were the same ones as those listed in the
header for the target list in Appendix B. Not only
does this roster provide a great sampling of
Herschel wonders in itself, but it also serves as ideal
preparation for those observers who may be
considering viewing as many as possible of the
2,500 plus objects shown in the Atlas visible from
their latitude.

Some recommended references


Of the extensive literature existing on the subject of the
Herschels and their discoveries, the following are a
number of the most useful and interesting print and
electronic publications. Although some of the older
classic works have been reprinted, others are now out of
print but still to be found in used book stores,
observatory libraries, and also over the Internet. And
while the numerical/physical parameters they give for
these objects is in most cases quite dated, their descriptive
accounts have a charm, passion, and warmth about them
thats sadly missing from many such guides today.

as an observer and telescope maker. Contains detailed
notes about each objects visual appearance (including
those considered lost or nonexistent), and includes
hundreds of images of the most fascinating wonders
supplemented by dozens of eyepiece sketches. This

In later editions, it was split into two volumes
containing nearly 4,000 targets (the majority being
double and multiple stars). With the exception of the
Messier objects, the clusters and nebulae described in it
were given with their original Herschel (as well as
NGC) designations. This classic is once more available
as a self-contained single volume in this new edition
from Cambridge.

The Cambridge Atlas of Herschel Objects

About the authors


Wil Tirion had no formal education in astronomy.
His training was focused on graphic art and design,
although the starry sky and especially star maps have
always fascinated him. In the fields of astronomy and
uranography (mapping the sky), he is what is known as
an autodidact. In 1977, purely for his own enjoyment,
he started making his first star atlas, which showed stars
down to magnitude 6.5. It was published in the
Encyclopedia of Astronomy, edited by Colin Ronan
(Hamlyn, London, 1979) and in 1981 as a separate set
of maps by the British Astronomical Association (BAA
Star Charts 1950.0). In 1978, still as a hobby, he started
working on a larger atlas entitled Sky Atlas 2000.0,
showing stars down to magnitude 8.0. Its publication in
1981 (Sky Publishing Corporation, USA, co-published
by Cambridge University Press, UK), resulted in requests
from several additional publishers to execute star maps
for a variety of purposes. In 1983 he decided to quit his
job as a graphic artist and designer, and become a full-time
uranographer. Since then he has created such popular
star atlases as the Bright Star Atlas 2000.0 and the The
Cambridge Star Atlas, and has cooperated with others on
much larger atlases like Uranometria 2000.0. He has also
created numerous star maps for various astronomy books
and magazines. In 1987 he was honored by receiving
the Dr. J. van der Bilt Prize, a Dutch award for
outstanding work by amateur astronomers. This was
followed in 1993 by a more international award when
minor planet 4648 Tirion (1931 UE) was named
after him. His website is: www.wil-tirion.com.
James Mullaney is an astronomy writer, lecturer and
consultant who has published more than 500 articles and
seven books (including The Cambridge Double Star Atlas)
on observing the wonders of the heavens, and logged over
20,000 hours of stargazing time with the unaided eye,
binoculars and telescopes. Formerly Curator of the Buhl
Planetarium & Institute of Popular Science in Pittsburgh
and Director of the DuPont Planetarium, he served as
staff astronomer at the University of Pittsburghs
Allegheny Observatory and as an assistant editor for

Sky & Telescope magazine. He was also one of the


contributors to Carl Sagans award-winning Cosmos
PBS-Television series. His 50-year mission has been to
Celebrate the Universe! to get others to look up at
the majesty of the night sky and to personally experience
the joys of stargazing. In February of 2005 he was elected
a Fellow of the prestigious Royal Astronomical Society
of London.

Acknowledgements
It has been a sincere pleasure working on this project from
its very inception with Vince Higgs, Commissioning
Editor, Astronomy and Astrophysics, at Cambridge
University Press. It was he who had the vision to see the
need for this seminal new star atlas as proposed by author
Mullaney, and he who obtained the endorsement of the
Cambridge University Press editorial review board and
management to undertake its publication. Special
acknowledgement is also due Hartmut Frommert and
Wolfgang Steinicke for creating/maintaining their
immensely valuable The Interactive NGC Catalog Online
and Revised NGC and IC Catalog, respectively. And
thanks to Dr. Michael Hoskin, founder and editor of
The Journal for the History of Astronomy, for valuable
information about the Herschels, especially Caroline and
her discoveries. Lindsay Barnes, Laura Clark, Claire
Poole, and Jonathan Ratcliffe at Cambridge all played
roles in bringing this Atlas to press. Wil Tirion wants to
thank James ( Jim) Mullaney for his valuable input in this
project. Without his expertise on the subject, and his
great practical experience in observing the Herschel
objects, it would not have been possible to create this
Atlas. For James Mullaney, it has been a great honor and
rare privilege to again work closely with the famed and
immensely talented Wil Tirion, creator of many
legendary previous star atlases and who is without
question the greatest mapper of the starry heavens the
world has ever known. This collaboration has resulted in
a truly unique new work in the field of astronomy that is
sure to be actively used and endorsed by Herschelians
worldwide.

* Herschel Club 400 List
The nominal visual magnitude limit is 12.5. A
number of fainter objects are included for the reasons
given in the text. The letter p indicates a
photographic magnitude rather than a visual one,

106

which averages roughly a magnitude brighter than


what the eye sees if the object is blue in hue and a
magnitude fainter if its yellow or red.
An explanation of the column headers will be
found in the Herschel showpiece section of the text.
Note that under the map column some numbers are
in italics, meaning that the object is plotted on
that map but is unlabeled: this only occurs in areas
that are covered in more detail by the two extra
maps, 31 and 32.
The primary print and online data sources used in
compiling the following roster were:
