While there are other plans that have everything in Burnham, to have combined all these in one plan would be rather unwieldy, numbering in the thousands of objects. Based on my own selections, this plan includes about 1150 objects, which will give the observer plenty of objects to choose from. And of course other objects can be added to suit the observer’s needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; "><span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>For each constellation easily visible from my observing sites (40 to 45º latitude), I included all Messier and Caldwell objects as well as all NGC and IC objects that appeared to be bright enough for interesting observing.

For some objects, I have inserted brief notes from Burnham’s lists into the notes already present from the various catalogs. For multiple stars, Burnham’s lists were perused for interesting stars that were bright enough and close enough to be interesting.
