The pictures are arranged by source and by object type. From here you can also find out how to buy them (from our Photo Sales page) and find technical details of how they were made. Most images now load complete with captions, NGC 2000.0 entry and other information. All (400+) NGC/IC objects are now identified on all telescope photographs
The images seen here are low resolution digital versions of almost 200 high quality colour photographs, most of them made from glass plates using a three-colour process. All the images are copyright and must not be mirrored or reproduced in any form without written permission. However, this is not intended to inhibit their use, and the image files displayed here are presented as an on-line catalogue. The files can be downloaded for personal use from our FTP location. We also welcome queries about our reproduction rights and conditions.
