I am trying to create a list of stars.

I need a comprehensive comparison between:

FK5#s, HD#s and BD#s
and
NGC#s, IC#s and Proper Names (like Eagle Nebula)

Here is a reference from FK5#s, HD#s and BD#s:

http://www-kpno.kpno.noao.edu/Info/Caches/Catalogs/SAO/sao_catalog.html

What I am interested in is Proper Motion.
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
This is a complicated question. Every catalogue uses its own numbers.

Some catalogues contain cross-identifications with other catalogues. But there isn't anywhere that gives all of them.

if you look up an object on Simbad (http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fid) it will give a list of other identifiers for the object.

if you can say which stars you are interested in I may be able to give some pointers.
 
I am looking for a list or a database equating the above items especially equating SAO# with Constellation and alpha-beta-gamma designation.
