Thanks a lot Monty and Michael! Hopefully all my questions will be answered!
You have to see my (good old fashioned) cahier in which I wrote all the names and nicknames of deepsky objects + telescopic asterisms and stars which were (and still are) investigated by professional and amateur astronomers. I'm not looking for the classic starnames such as Betelgeuze or Sirius, I'm only interested in starnames which have the names of their discoverers or investigators in them, such as Barnard's star (Velox Barnardi). I only collect names and nicknames of objects beyond the solar system, because... imagine a cahier full of names of asteroids, comets, and all the moons of the planets. My goodness, it would be not just one cahier, it would be a whole series! (I like writing in a not-so-new looking cahier, but... only one such a book is enough!).
Strange hobby: if this cahier was a brand new product from the supermarket, it would be not that interesting. No, I prefer an old (read: a not-so-recent) and previously unused (and slightly yellowish "dirty" looking) example from the flea-market! (a cahier with a certain history: who was the owner of it?). And yes, I like searching in flea-markets! (old maps and atlases of the constellations? Alas, nothing found yet). Danny Nostalgia.
