Well, I keep separate files of PN and other DS objects so for the moment I
am concentrating on PN but when sufficient angry mails will tell me to stop
:-)) I will go back to clusters and galaxies...

I can only find a dozen of Merril's PN in Hynes Catalog. I think that while
doing spectroscopic researches in found a lot of PN mimics such as WR
stars, Be stars and so on, that is stellar objects having spectral features
similar to PN, so he classified them as PN and a lot were later found to be
other objects. That's why so few Merril's nebula remain.
clear skies, yann.
