Notes

This is a major release featuring two great new catalogs along with a few bug fixes to make life better 🙌 You can see all the changes below, but here are the main highlights:

- Sharpless
The Sharpless catalog is a list of 313 H II regions (emission nebulae) intended to be comprehensive north of declination −27°.
(It does include some nebulae south of that declination as well.)

- Abell
The Abell Catalog of Planetary Nebulae (1966 by George O. Abell) contains 79 entries confirmed to be planetary nebulae.

Keep your suggestions for new catalogs coming as we'll be continuing to add new catalogs with every release 📈
