The Messier catalogue lists most of the brighter nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters and makes a common wish list for amateur astronomers. However there are a number of similar objects that Messier missed, and in 1995 Sir Patrick Moore published a list of 109 (to match Messier's catalogue) such objects. These include brighter objects missed by Messier and also objects in the southern sky that Messier could not see. The list is ordered by declination so that Caldwell 1 is the furthest north and Caldwell 109 is the furthest south. Sir Patrick called the catalogue Caldwell because his full name is Caldwell-Moore and the letter M was already taken my Messier, so the objects are labelled C. This catalogue makes a useful list extending the Messier list. Most, but not all, of the objects have NGC designations as below. (O = Open, G = Globular, P = Planetary, SNR = Supernova Remnant.) For a more detailed list see here.
