NGC Catalogue - New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars

Japanese: NGC星表 - エヌジーシーせいひょう(英語表記)New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars
NGC Catalogue - New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars
Catalog of nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. NGC Catalog. For each celestial object, the type, species, celestial position (right ascension, declination), apparent brightness (magnitude), and apparent size (extent) are listed in a table. John Herschel published a table of 5,079 nebulae and star clusters in 1864 based on his own observations and those of his father, William Herschel, and in 1888 John Dreyer revised and republished it. Herschel's table was supplemented by Dreyer's own observations and those of several others up to 1887, resulting in a table of 7,840 nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Dryer's two additional tables are the Index Catalogue (IC), a table of 1,529 nebulae and clusters observed visually between 1888 and 1894, published in 1895, and the Index Catalogue II (IC II, published in 1908), a table of 5,386 nebulae and clusters observed visually and photographically until 1907. The table format is exactly the same as the NGC. These are collectively called the Dryer Catalogue. The NGC catalog was revised again in 1974 based on photographic observations and published as the Revised New General Catalogue of Non-Stellar Astronomical Objects (RNGC).
