Hershel 400 Objects in Canis Major

Abbreviations in the CON column are the IAU versions.
The column TYPE has following abbreviations:
OPNCL = open cluster	PLNNB = planetary nebula	GLOCL = globular cluster	CL+NB = open cluster and nebulosity	BRTNB = bright emission or reflection nebula
Hubble Classification for galaxies or GALXY where no classification existed.

In the Herschel Column the Classes are:
I = Bright Nebulae	III = Very Faint Nebulae	V = Very Large Nebulae	VII = Pretty Much Compressed Clusters of Large or Small Stars
II = Faint Nebulae	IV = Planetary Nebulae	VI = Very Compressed and Rich Clusters of Stars	VIII = Coarsely Scattered Clusters of Stars


NGC_#	Con	Type	RA_2000	Declination	Mag	Size	Hershel_#	Observation Notes
2204	CMA	OPNCL	06 15.7	-18 39	8.6	13.0'	H VII 13	not much, "K" shape, 30 stars and somewhat milky backround, orange 9 mag * to one side.
2354	CMA	OPNCL	07 14.3	-25 44	6.5	20.0'	H VII 16	Bright, large, not compressed at 100X. 40 * in Milky Way field, several dark lanes in group with nice chains of stars. Just seen in 10X50 binoculars.
2360	CMA	OPNCL	07 17.8	-15 37	7.2	13.0'	H VII 12	Bright, large, compressed, rich and round. Easy in 8X50 finder. At 100X there are about 20 pretty bright stars with another 50 for fill in. This is a winter favorite.
2362	CMA	OPNCL	07 18.8	-24 57	4.1	8.0'	H VII 17	pretty bright, pretty large, somewhat compressed, round at 165X. Tau CMA and about 45 stars. Tau has dark band around it, then cluster members. Tau has two companions that form almost a straight line. Tau is white, the two comes are bluish and both are on one side of Tau. Having a bright triple star in the center of a cluster is quite unique and I return to this object often.
