NGC Star Clusters, Nebulae, and Galaxies

The NGC, IC, and UGC catalogs list thousands of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the northern hemisphere. Some of these objects have been photographed by Calvin students in courses and in independent projects, using the Calvin Observatory and the Calvin-Rehoboth Robotic Observatory. Click on any picture below to see a larger image and read more information about the object. As additional objects are photographed each semester, they will be added here.
