		Centaur objects have perihelia beyond the orbit of Jupiter and semimajor axes inside the orbit of Neptune.
		Transneptunian objects have orbits with semimajor axes beyond the orbit of Neptune--some of these objects, generally assumed to be in librations with Neptune, have perihelion distances inside the orbit of Neptune.
		Here is a list of other unusual objects that do not fit into any of the above categories.

	Target Lists
		This target list is an accompaniment to the article "111 Deep Sky Wonders for Light Polluted Skies" appearing in the April 2003 issue of Sky and Tel.
		This target list is a combination of the two Double Star lists complied by Alan Alder published by Sky and Telescope in January and July 2001.
		The list does not cover the more southerly objects, is selected from observations made with a 17.5 telescope and may be subject to refinement.

	How Astronomical Objects Are Named (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Deep sky objects (that is objects that are not stars and not within our solar system) may have common names, but most are found in catalogs.
		Objects in these catalogs are indicated by the letters NGC or IC followed by a number (for example NGC 7000 is the North American Nebula).
		Generally you can tell whether a label refers to an NGC object or a star by looking at the symbol, a dot generally indicates a star, some other symbol indicates a deep sky object (there should be a legend somewhere that shows what the symbols mean).

		The object is also visible on the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) plates but was surprisingly overlooked by George Abell, who conducted a thorough search of the POSS plates for well-resolved planetary nebulae in the 1960s.
		Although the object is quite faint, I suspect it would be much better known to both professional and amateur astronomers if this part of the sky were not so visually dominated by the Eta Carinae nebula.
		In the same year, Gary Wegner and Ian Glass from the South African Astronomical Observatory recognised the object as a bipolar nebula, and further observations by Keith Taylor and Mike Scarrott in 1980 with the 3.9-metre AAT revealed that the object was actually a protoplanetary nebula.

	The Discovery of the Deep Sky Objects
		He included a list of 16 entries, 2 of which are objects ( the Andromeda Galaxy M31 and the Praesepe star cluster M44), while the other 14 are asterisms or non-existent.
		Only two of the objects were real, M31 and M7, all others were nonexistent, or uninteresting asterisms, fooling other observers (including Messier) using this widespread compilation; it was reprinted in the Memoirs of the French Academy of Sciences in 1734, and included in de Maupertuis' book Discours sur la Figure des Astres in 1742.
		Listed are the historic catalogs in chronological order; the number of objects and, if different, the number of entries (including those which do not correspond real objects) is given in parentheses.

	Astronomy - Derek Haselden's astronomical lists and tables - Deep Sky Objects.
		I've no idea if such a list has been compiled before but some may find it of interest; it does give some idea of several objects that are theoretically within the reach of the naked eye and should be visible even with just a pair of binoculars.
		This list catalogues some 70 of these objects, all of which should be within the range of modest instruments.
		Another list of objects with a twist - some are quite bright, yet elude even the more competent instruments available to the amateur astronomer, number one on the list (IC434) being a famous example.

	Astronomical League's Binocular Messier Club
		The Astronomical League has provided lists of Messier objects which should be observable with binoculars of various sizes, without much difficulties (provided the objects come high enough over the horizon, and sufficiently dark skies).
		Observing sufficiently many Messier objects with binoculars is rewarded by a certificate from the Astronomical League; look at their conditions for this on their original Binocular Messier Club page.
		The certificates are granted for any selection of at least 50 Messier objects, regardless of their suggestive lists, which might however help to find out the easier ones.
