pgc hunter, it looks like you will be hunting for a lot of PGC objects.....
I am not currently in my prime for visual observation, but I am inspired by the sense that you are "as keen as mustard" to get out and view these objects!

For those of you who are not into obscure galaxy catalogues, I note that the dreaded AM (arp-madore) catalogue numbers are sometimes a problem, as this is not the major identification used for most fairly-bright galaxies.

The NED website should (I think) allow searches for object information, by putting in AM catalogue number, and it will give the cross-references to other catalogues. (//ned.ipac.caltech.edu)
