Objects are sorted by constellation and object category, identical to the CSOG constellation editions. Of course, there are matching tourfiles and AstroPlanner planfiles. There is an index file listing all objects with their Herschel designations, and there are separate index files for the Herschel 400 and Herschel II lists.
A new edition calls for a new sample. The constellation of Gemini is positioned favorably this time of year. All Herschel objects for this constellation are added to the sample page, in four image orientation options, like all CSOG editions. Ready for use in the field. Just click to download, unzip, and transfer to your tablet. Visit the website for more samples, or click the links below to download directly (65MB):
As this is a new edition, there is an introductory offer. For the remainder of this month, the Herschel edition will be available for the price of the Herschel 400 and Herschel II edition combined! Customers outside of the EU are of course exempt from VAT.
With the release of this new edition comes the first update to CSOG 2.0. Many guides received small tweaks and changes. More significant changes were made to the Herschel 400, Herschel II and 12" Constellation editions. These guides, tours and planfiles are marked as V2.0.1. An index file for all Herschel objects is added to the 12" Constellation editions.
Exisiting CSOG customers have received their new download links by e-mail as this is another free update.
The total number of objects in CSOG is now exactly 13700, counting combined objects (merging galaxies, Hickson groups, open clusters with nebulosity, etc.) as single ones.
Starting in February, "Objects of the Month" will be added to the samples page. Requests are welcome..!
