1001 Celestial Wonders to See Before You Die - EmeraldHillsSkies - 2024-02-05
Here's the list, 1001 Celestial Wonders to See Before You Die, taken from the book by the same name:
1001_Celestial_Wonders.stx (Size: 57.77 KB / Downloads: 25)
I have used the "Brief Notes" field for several lists now.
X = Hidden Treasures
SD = Secret Deep
CC = Cosmic Challenge
and the 4-digit number (e.g., 0045) is the number taken from the 1001 Celestial Wonders list, as assigned by Bakich. (So it's the one number that is 4 digits and has no preceding initial.) A handful of Bakich's objects weren't in SkyTools. I've added them to Supplemental Deep Sky Objects. I'm hoping they transfer in ok for those who want to use this list. Good luck and happy observing!

Wow, that's a really impressive list. Thanks!
To those interested in using it, I recommend breaking it into smaller parts. A thousand objects will really bog the planner down.

Your programming works well on my laptop, Greg. It runs in a snappy way with all 1001 objects.
