Following this discussion I did some digging and found this article, which would be a good place, both as a "list of lists", as well as a better repository for the contents of Thai names in space and Russian names in space. I think it would need a little bit of reorganizing (since the "Deep Sky Objects" are already listed at Stars named after people, etc) but I think it would make the whole subject a bit cleaner.

From my forbidden explorations and investigations in the library of astronomy and astrophysics (the university of Ghent, East Flanders) I learned about the existence of a very unknown sort of nomenclature related to open star clusters. There is, for example, the open star cluster IC 348 in Perseus, which is also called "Gingrich" (Gingrich 1?). Another example is open star cluster is IC 4756 in Serpens, which is also called "Graff" (Graff 1?). And there is also the open star cluster Basel 1 in Scutum, which seems to be called "Apriamashv." (probably from Apriamashvili, or Apriamashvili 1?). There are many more examples of this sort of nomenclature, unfortunately almost nothing about the sources of these is (or are) online.

I stuck Barnard's various objects in their own section because I felt having a few random objects scattered throughout was a bit odd. That being said, the section stuck at the end looks a bit odd. So I guess the question is, should we treat folks who have multiple objects as unique and split them off, or just put their objects in their appropriate places?

Could somebody of the English speaking astronomy-related Wikipedians tell me something about the name Haufen? There is an astronomical object (or group of objects) which is known as Haufen A, aka Abell 151 at 1h 08.9m / -15° 25' (2000.0) in the constellation Cetus (the whale). Now who or what is or was Haufen? Is it the name of the discoverer of this object? Or perhaps of the observatory where the discovery was performed? This name (Haufen A) is mentioned in the extremely interesting book SKY CATALOGUE 2000.0, Volume 2: Double Stars, Variable Stars and Nonstellar Objects (1985). See page xlvii in the book's very fascinating chapter GLOSSARY OF SELECTED ASTRONOMICAL NAMES. DannyCaes ( talk) 18:56, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Much more mysterious than the above mentioned object (or cluster of objects) called Haufen A are the Heiles clouds, of which no coordinates are mentioned. All what is known is the fact that they are (or should be) high-opacity dust clouds. Also mentioned are the three numbers 1, 2 and 4 (the catalog numbers of these clouds?). Also mentioned is the printed source, which I don't have: ApJ, 151, 919, 1968. Are these mysterious clouds perhaps related to the astronomer Carl Eugene Heiles?
