Fig. 6.2 Screen shot showing the results of a SIMBAD search for M1. The top section gives the
position of the object in multiple coordinate systems, provides its angular size for resolved objects
and its magnitude in multi-bands (although for some reason not in this case). A zoomable image of
the object to aid with the location is on the top right-hand side. Below is a list of all the identifiers
associated with this object, 52 in this case, and links to that catalogue. (Image supplied by NASA’s
