It is easy to make lists of globular clusters, planetary nebulae and galaxies because we have magnitudes, sizes and plenty of data.
Open clusters are more difficult because you can't tell what they are like just by looking at magnitudes and sizes. The hardest job is making a list of nebulae because there are no magnitudes.
