Simbad Search

[DuaneS]

Hi all - got an odd question. Is there a cheat sheet anywhere for searching Simbad? I looked at the online docs. I am trying to find Abell Planetaries and the results are for Abell galaxy clusters. I am trying different searches and I am sure I am missing something simple

Thanks!

There is a nomenclature dictionary. It says to use these for Abell planetaries:

Yep! I was, of course, doing it wrong! I was putting A66 and need to put PN A66 66. Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated!!
