Just been watching this documentary, with Bob Fosbury, Bob Fosbury, Bob Fosbury.
Casual investigation does not reveal clips of it on YouTube for those who can't play the documentary at that link.
I'll post this clip instead:
Some kind soul has posted a guide to the nebulae (not sure if they're all nebulae, actually) shown:
0:01 IC 4406
0:08 Butterfly planetary (NGC 2346)
0:13 Calabash/Rotten Egg (IRAS07399-1435)
0:18 Minkowski's Butterfly (Minkowski 2-9)
0:23 Henize 3-401
0:28 Eight-burst (NGC 3132)
0:33 Spirograph (IC 418)
0:38 Cat's Eye (NGC 6543) - not the best image IMO
