Default Catalog of "Brocchi-like" clusters???

Does anyone know of a catalog of clusters similar to Brocchi's Cluster? I
know there is another cluster that's often referred to as a hockey stick or
golf club. Just wondering if there is a list of other binocular objects
that have interesting shapes.

Thanks,
Chris

Does the Praesepe count? Pleiades? Water Jar of Aquarius?

Hi Chris,
Do a google search for asterisms and defunct constellations. There is no
formal list that I know of but these two searches should turn up what you
are looking for. While you are at it, look up a finder chart for Kemble's
Cascade.
