[1] In 1919, the American astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard compiled a list of dark nebulae known as the Barnard Catalogue of Dark Markings in the Sky, or the Barnard Catalogue for short.

[2] A 1919 version of the catalogue listed 182 nebulae;[3] by the time of the posthumously published 1927 version, it listed 369.

[4] Barnard's niece and assistant Mary Ross Calvert, also an astronomer and astrographer, took an important part in creating the catalogue.
