The keyword for coordinates and data is:
NGC Catalogue.

As I said, I haven't looked for it yet, but if I find something, I'll let you
know. I also made a PHP script with which I can create Povray arrays from
databases, if helpful. But it takes time, sorry.


Images could be a problem, as I am not aware of any valid source that provides
such data in a uniform format. Maybe it comes down to the fact that you have to
search for them manually.
But I can also be wrong, maybe there is something like that in the meantime. If
I find something, I'll tell you.

Chromium on a Raspberry Pi.
I clicked somewhere and a Box opened with the text "Object" few million times,
so my Pi was busy to show all text.
And in dont want to risk it again, don't like crashes.
