Collinder catalogue

The Collinder catalogue is a catalogue of 471 open clusters compiled by Swedish astronomer Per Collinder. It was published in 1931 as an appendix to Collinder's paper On structural properties of open galactic clusters and their spatial distribution.

The catalogue contains 452 open clusters, 11 globular clusters, 6 asterisms, 1 stellar moving group, and 1 stellar association. Catalogue objects are denoted by Collinder, e.g. "Collinder 399". Dated prefixes include as Col + catalogue number, or Cr + catalogue number, e.g. "Cr 399".

There are some errors in Collinder's list or references to it. For example:
