SIMBAD is really a wonderful online source to get every possible catalog number of every astronomical object beyond the solar system, but... I want to know if they (CDS, Centre de Données Stellaires, Strasbourg) have also an alphabetic list or (huge) gazetteer of all the officially recognized names of deepsky objects and stars. Thus: every named astronomical object from Proxima Centauri onward to the most distant (named) galaxy or the most remote obscure named object (whatever that is, or could be). I guess they don't have the names of the largest structures in the universe, such as the "filaments" of galaxy clusters, and the supervoids in between those "filaments". It would be great to see the CDS's or SIMBAD's alphabetic gazetteer of the nomenclature of deepsky objects and of special stars (that is: all the peculiar stars which received astronomy-related names since the invention of the optical and radio telescopes, and also of the orbital telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope, and the interplanetary James Webb Telescope). Call it an obsession, but... I want ALL of them! (all the names of astronomical objects beyond the solar system). No catalog numbers, only names! (the one or more catalog numbers, the celestial coordinates, and the kind of object appear automatically per name, I guess).

OK, thank you Andrea !!! Sorry, I was adrift somewhere between the superclusters of VELA and LEO-SEXTANS (strange to say: according to the SIMBAD Astronomical Database, these two seem to be one and the same: SCL 91). I'm not sure, but I guess I detected some sort of error (a COSMIC error!).
