Well-used DSO catalogs

[alexwolf]

Hello all!

Some time ago I've added into Stellarium few catalogs with deep-sky objects and many users like it. Currently we (Stellarium's developers) planning list of features for implementation on different perspectives (far-, middle- and short time perspectives).

One of directions of develop the planetarium is works with various catalogs (star and non-star objects). This is reason for my question for you: which catalogues of DSO you are using frequently?

Any comments, notes and proposals for catalogues welcome!
