# NGC Catalog subset
# FIXME: Need to convert this into a dictionary such that we can more efficiently obtain
# the astronomical data (including common name) when looking up the catalog
# number.
#
# Key to Type representation:
# SNR = supernova remnant
# GCl = globular cluster
# OCl = open cluster
# C/N = cluster and nebula
# PlN = planetary nebula
# Gal = Galaxy
# Dbl = double star
# DfN = Diffuse Nebula
# ??? = unknown or unclassified object
#
# Note: Objects smaller than 10' or dimmer than magnitude 9.0 have been removed from this
# catalog, as they are not going to be visible even in good binoculars. Objects which
# duplicate entries in the Messier catalog have also been removed.
#
# Most of these objects come from the Bennett list of southern sky objects which are not
# comets. The rest are NGC objects which have names.
