Love your work John!

Just a question if I may. In the 'Type' column I can see what most of them are, but there's a few abreviations I can't work out due to my lack of knowledge. Here's what I have:

Gal = Galaxy
Gal CL = Galaxy Cluster
GC = Globular Cluster
MS = Multiple Star
PN = Planetary Nebula
OC = Open Cluster
VS = Variable Star
SR = Supernova Remnant
Star = Star

DN = Diffuse Nebula ?
EG GC = Extra-Galactic Globular Cluster ?
BN = ?
CS = ?
EN = ?

Also, there are three constellation abreviations, AQL, AQR, and AQU which appear to be used across two constellations, Aquila and Aquarius.

Once again, thanks for your work, this is an excellent idea.

Regards,
Jason.
