# Caldwell catalog

Also called: Caldwell, C.

Patrick Moore's 1995 list of 109 bright objects Messier missed, including the best of the southern sky.

The British astronomer Patrick Moore (whose full surname was Caldwell-Moore) compiled it as a companion to the Messier list: the Double Cluster (C 14), the Veil, Omega Centauri, the Sculptor Galaxy. It runs from C 1 near the north celestial pole to C 109 in the far south.
