A List of Galaxies

A while ago, I posed this question to the members of the Cloudy Nights forum: "What are some good face-on spirals?" Among some of the responses I received was this list. This list compiles the 200 brightest galaxies in the night sky. It also gives RA/Dec coordinates for each, along with their magnitude, type, and orientation as viewed from Earth. I'm going to be using it to plan observing sessions. For quite some time I had made this list available as an Excel file, but it was hosted on a cheapo file share. Finally, though, I've found a much more reliable service and now the file is available again! It should be available permanently now! ;)
