The NGC catalogue contains 7840 objects.
94 Planetary nebulae
116 Globular clusters.
150 nebulae
Has anyone seen all of the 94 PN?
Has anyone seen all of the 116 GC?
Has anyone seen all of the 150 nebulae?

Bart, I didn't mention the 6026 NGC galaxies and the 675 NGC open clusters.
Maybe we could add 50 NGC OC or 50 NGC galaxies.

This is an amazing effort
