Caldwell advocates, however, see the catalogue as a useful list of some of the brightest and best known non-Messier deep-sky objects. Thus, advocates dismiss any "controversy" as being fabricated by older amateurs simply not able or willing to memorize the new designations despite every telescope database using the Caldwell IDs as the primary ...
NGC 3242 (also known as the Ghost of Jupiter, Eye Nebula or Caldwell 59) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hydra.. William Herschel discovered the nebula on February 7, 1785, and catalogued it as H IV.27.

The Helix Nebula (also known as NGC 7293 or Caldwell 63) is a planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, most likely before 1824, this object is one of the closest of all the bright planetary nebulae to Earth. [3] The distance, measured by the Gaia mission, is 655±13 light-years. [4]
NGC 3132 (also known as the Eight-Burst Nebula, [2] the Southern Ring Nebula, [2] or Caldwell 74) is a bright and extensively studied planetary nebula in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at 613 pc or 2,000 light-years .
NGC 2244 (also known as Caldwell 50 or the Satellite Cluster) is an open cluster in the Rosette Nebula, which is located in the constellation Monoceros. This cluster has several O-type stars, super hot stars that generate large amounts of radiation and stellar wind. The age of this cluster has been estimated to be less than 5 million years.
Caldwell-Pope, 31, was a valuable part of the Nuggets' 2023 NBA championship team in addition to the 2023-24 squad. In two seasons with Denver, he averaged 10.4 points, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals ...
NGC 246 (also known as the Skull Nebula [5] or Caldwell 56) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1785 by William Herschel. The nebula and the stars associated with it are listed in several catalogs, as summarized by the SIMBAD database. [1] The nebula is roughly 3,500 +720 −850 light-years away. [2]
