"Designations of astronomical objects are often confusing. Astronomical designations (also called Object Identifiers) have been collected and published by Lortet and collaborators in Dictionaries of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects outside the solar system". This is the web-based look-up version of that text, with full references and usages for nearly 14,000 different acronyms and various (nonstandard) numbering-schemes and coordinate-systems. This has been added to Astronomy Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
