Mullaney and McCall Catalog Observation Log
Miscellaneous Programs
In 1966, James Mullaney and Wallace McCall researched and published a collection of "The Finest Deep-Sky Objects" that were well-suited for observers using telescopes ranging in aperture from 13 to 30 inches. In general, objects listed in this catalog will prove to be a rewarding sight for a first-time viewer.
