      The Caldwell Catalogue on Microsoft Access
The Caldwell Catalogue is a list of 109 deep-sky objects devised by the late Sir Patrick Moore which was first published in 1995. It is similar, in concept,  to the Messier Catalogue but it also features deep-sky objects in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere which cannot be viewed from the UK. If you are au fait with MS Access you will be able to apply the search and query tools directly to the programme file to investigate aspects of the Caldwell Catalogue. Some demonstrations on how the file can be used to study the Caldwell Catalogue have been given so that people who do not have the database can still benefit from its features.
Please note that the Microsoft Office Access file is version 2007 which should update automatically on later versions of the software.   The Messier Catalogue on Microsoft Access The Messier Catalogue is a list of 110 deep-sky objects which was initiated by Charles Messier. The original list, which was published in 1774, comprised 45 objects and has been added to over the years. If you have MS Access you will be able to apply the search and query tools directly to the programme file to investigate aspects of the Messier Catalogue. Some demonstrations on how the file can be used to study the Messier Catalogue have been given so that people who do not have the database can still benefit from its features.                       Please note that the Microsoft Office Access file is version 2007 which should update automatically on later versions of the software.       Molecular Clouds on Microsoft Access This sample database comprises 84 molecular clouds of which 33 are available for investigation on Stellarium. If you have MS Access you will be able to apply the search and query tools directly to the programme file to investigate aspects of these molecular clouds. Some demonstrations on how the file can be used to study molecular clouds have been given so that people who do not have the database can still benefit from its features. There is also an exploration of the spectacular molecular clouds MBM 54 and MBM 8.
