The AAAA Urban Astronomy Club List of Objects

The American Association of Amateur Astronomers

compiled by John Wagoner (stargate@gte.net)

The American Association of Amateur Astronomers has created a List of Deep Sky Objects (and double and variable stars) for Northern hemisphere observers living in urban regions. With their kind permission, we present this list here linked to the object pages in our Messier Catalog Online Database at SEDS.

Also available as ascii file.
