I did once happen to stumble across a planetary nebula quite by accident and I hoped that mode-identify might tell me what it was.

Nope! Checked mag limits werent filtering the results and try again. Nope!

I made a note of its RA and Dec in case I could later claim to name my discovery Starkler-1, but alas a gentleman called Fleming had beaten me to it and named it Fleming-1 (PK 290+7.1).

Now this appears in a miscellaneous catalogue of the argo navis but it appears to not be picked up in tour or identify modes.
