- Cheseaux compiled a list of nebulae during 1745–1746. He sent the list to his grandfather, in the form of a letter. The letter was read before the French Academy of Sciences in 1746. However, it was first published only in 1892 as part of a large article by the French astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan.
