Here is a VERY large list of astronomical catalogs, how to judge which are "little known" in order to formulate a correct answer to your question? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronomical_catalogues

I really like the Dolidze-Dzimselejsvili catalogue (see https://www.astrobuysell.com/paul/DoDzClusters.htm). It is difficult to pronounce for us North Americans, which is a reason I like it, but all of its objects can be seen with good binoculars, although none of them is spectacular.

Which are some little known catalogues whose objects can be observed during the night sky?

We all know about the Messier catalogue. Little know or have heard about the Melotte catalogue. I am in search of those rare catalogues apart from Messier, NGC and IC with objects/sources that aren't mentioned in either of the aforementioned catalogues.
