There are numerous images of Messier, NGC, IC, and other catalogue objects scattered around the image pages, taken with various instruments and interspersed with text. So this page brings the other catalogues together with only a brief description. They are still shown on the image pages, so if you want to know more about where and when they were taken, just visit the appropriate page. Because there are only a few of some catalogue entries shown here, rather than set up separate pages they are simply in alphabetical and numerical order. 

Where I have more than one image of an object, I have used what I consider to be the best of them.
