Hello Thomas and Chiraag,
I'm a new developer and I expect I will be working with you in the future
because I am adding a new feature to NebulaMgr and Nebula as well.
Basically what I did at the moment was split the "Nebula" Sky Viewing
option into some of its components - "Galaxies" and "Globulars". There
should probably also be a "Open Cluster" category. I'm pretty excited.
Check it out:

Since we're doing so much work to these classes, we might want to consider
creating a new abstract "DeepSkyObject" class, and deriving other classes
like Nebula, OpenCluster, Galaxy, GlobularCluster from it.
Just a thought.
