Abell Images for locating and determining FOV |
A useful set of images to help you find the Abell planetaries. You can print these images and take them into the field for your use. I reversed the images to the negative to make it easier to see the planetary nebula. I hope they help you out as much they did for me. |
It should be noted that I retrieved all these images from the The STScI Digitized Sky Survey and the CCD Atlas: North, from John Vickers. I also provided scanned images of finder charts with the Abells
marked to make the searching of these planetaries easier. You can save the pictures
or print the images and finder charts for use in the field.. It took alot
of time, but it was well worth it both for myself and to know that I will make
someone elses searches alot easier. Use these images to your hearts content. BACK |
