Ad. 1. It's good idea. NGC 1234 => 1234 IC 567 => I567 PGC 12345 => P12345 UGC 1234 => 1234 etc. Ad. 2. Modern atlases use variable font size and/or weight: a. http://www.oculum.de/sites/deepskyatlas/site/en/dsa.asp?content=start b. http://www.uv.es/jrtorres/triatlas.html Regards |

No.1 Disagree Stick to the Vizier standard acronyms for labelling dso's unless absolutely necessary as it complicates searches and filters - users will get into the habit of thinking that 'N', 'U' etc are valid catalogue acronyms. That said, there is also an informal convention (in Webb Society Guidebooks) to prefix common catalogs with a single letter, M=Messier, N=NGC, I=IC, UGC=UGC, P=PGC, H=Hickson. Thus labels would then for example be: M107 and N1234, I567, P12345,U1234 and H67/H67b. This is better than the suggested alternative which drops the source catalogue letter entirely. No.2 Agreed, sounds OK. regards Peter |
