Observing list??

Anyone have a list of low emission objects......such as NGC
6822--Bernard's Galaxy. I'm looking for other objects simliar to this.

Thanks

You mean large yet dim? I like Barnard's Galaxy too. I don't have a list =

but you might try NGC 281, the Pacman neb in Cass. Also M33 of course.=20

The Veil and North American nebs too.

My presonal favorite for large but dim is the Helix nebula (NGC 7293 in
Aquarius)

The Local Group includes a number of large, low surface brightness galaxies.
Tom Polakis wrote an excellent article about observing these in the old "Deep
Sky" magazine. It's included in David Eicher's "Galaxies and the Universe," if
you can lay your hands on a copy.

Here, are a couple of links to sites with information about Local Group
