I thought I'd put up the charts I generated with Star Atlas pro to locate these objects. Its especially valuable for finding the faint planetaries. I orient the camera so its the same as the red rectangle in the chart, long axis running east-west, then position it so the brighter stars are as seen in the chart. When digital imaging came along I quickly realised all previous star charts were no longer adequate. Much of the deep south has been neglected, even in bigger star atlases like Uranometria.
