VdB Catalogue


This catalogue was originally published in 1966 by Sidney van den Bergh and contains 158 reflection nebulae: A study of reflection nebulae, van den Bergh, S., 1966. Later it was expanded to 159 objects by René Racine: Stars in reflection nebulae, Racine, 1968. The catalogue contains information for all BD and CD stars north of -33 deg which are surrounded by reflection nebulosity visible on both the blue and red prints of the Palomar Sky Survey. The nearer reflection nebulae lie predominantly along Gould's Belt, whereas the more distant ones are concentrated to the galactic plane. During the period 2010 - 2017 we have imaged ALL of this reflection nebulae. Below there are clickable thumbnails linked to relative web pages, ordered by their catalog number.
