Hi All,

Very hard to argue with Nyx Aether's list or Hector's suggestions either -- I'll just make a couple of modifications mainly in order:

For mine:

1. NGC 6853 / M27 / Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula
2. NGC 5189 Spiral Planetary in Musca
3. NGC 6720 / M57 / Ring Nebula in Lyra
4. NGC 3132 Eight-Burst Nebula in Vela
5. NGC 2392 Eskimo in Gemini
6. NGC 7293 Helix Nebula in Aquarius
7. NGC 3918 Blue Planetary in Centaurus
8. Shapley 1 in Norma
9. NGC 6337 in Scorpius
10. NGC 2818A in Pyxis


But there are like many have noted, so so many close runners up like NGC 2899 in Vela, IC418, NGC 3242 in Hydra, NGC1535 in Eridanus, NGC 2440 in Puppis, NGC 2438 in Puppis, NGC 7009 in Aquarius and ...

Best,
