Well thanks for wanting to know. I was afraid I was annoying you. : ) In the list from Harrington's book (Cosmic Challenge), if I could do it in SkyTools, I would associate:
Alcor and Mizar
The four stars in the Great Square of Pegasus
The deep sky objects that make up Markarian's Chain
The Leo Triplet
Barnard 142 and 143 (Barnard's "E")
M31, M32, M110
I would somehow show the 6 Apollo landing sites on the moon and associate all of them
NGC 2959, 2976, and 3077 (Garland)
Barnard 33 and IC434
NGC2964, 2968, and 2970
Stefan's Quintet
Fornax 1,2,4,5,6
Copeland's Septet
...and the list goes on
If I can associate objects like these somehow in SkyTools and make that obvious when I view them in the Cosmic Challenge list, it would help. But for the time being, I'll just try to crowd all these names in the "Brief Note" - but with everything I'm putting in the Brief Note, it's going to run out of space really soon. hahaha : )
I'm not sure how else to explain it.
It's almost like ... what Abell did when he established a catalogue and named objects like Abell 1060
