Messages: The object name that you submitted is not currently recognized by the NED name interpreter. In general, naming conventions employ a prefix (usually an acronym for the first author(s) or the survey name) followed by a numerical string based on a tabular sequence or a position on the sky. For more specifics, see the document at http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/Dic/iau-spec.htx Based on your input, we have listed below a number of possibilities that NED does recognize that reasonably may include your object/survey and its standardized naming convention in NED.
