Future CSOG

Unshared knowledge is worthless knowledge.

As plenty of celestial catalogs and lists remain, CSOG will continue to expand and will continue to be updated for years to come. Where applicable, information in new editions is incorporated into existing content.

After publication of CSOG 3.0 on 29 November 2024 there will not be another complete revision: from here on, new editions will be added incrementally and existing content will receive interim updates. Creation of new and updated editions is a work in progress.

Order and projected time of publication may change.

In Betweens

If you know of other Star Party Observing Programs that are worth adding to the ever growing collection of CSOG editions, or if you would like to create an observing program to share at a star party you plan on attending: please let me know and I will be happy to compile it.
