Hi Chiraag, I'm Thomas, I'm currently working on the new DSO catalogue blueprint. My branch is here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~tom-s-morris/stellarium/new-ngc-catalog The main changes are in Nebula, NebulaMgr. The catalogue itself isn't checked into the branch for licensing reasons so I'd like to add some kind of runtime/download dialogue box for the user to accept the license. Let me know if you'd like a copy of the current catalogue (not-for-profit use only). I won't be able to work on Stellarium for the next 3 weeks but I hope to get this branch to a merge-able state asap after that.
