Henry Draper Catalogue
Also known as the HD Catalogue for short. This star catalogue lists the spectral classification types of 225,000 stars in the entire sky with magnitude 9 or higher. It was published as the Harvard College Observatory Annual Bulletin Vols. 91-99 from 1918 to 1924, and later 134,000 stars were added as HDE. It is the original source of spectral classification, and the numbers in the catalogue are used as the names of the stars. Observations were made at the Harvard College Observatory and its branch office in Peru using a refracting telescope with an objective prism, and A. J. Cannon was responsible for measuring 2,100 dry plates to determine the classification types of the stars.
