Indeed -
The binocular object has no proper name (like "Hercules"  ) ; it is usually referred to by its catalogue number.
The ultramicroscopic object can be construed as a "species", and the denomination of that species is identical to the catalogue designation of the object in our Northern hemisphere summer nightsky.
That was more than one hint  |
I was going to guess
The Saturn Nebula, which is H IV I in Herschel's catalogue. (HIV I, the AIDS virus being the ultramicroscopic object), but it has a name and it's in the southern hemisphere! ](*,)
What about H IV 2? Dang, that's called "Hubble's Variable Nebula"! ](*,)
