New General Catalog

The NGC and its supplements IC I and IC II were originally compiled by J.L.E. Dreyer and published 1887 (NGC), 1895 (IC I) and 1907 (IC II). It contains open and globular star clusters (and some asterisms), diffuse and planetary nebulae, supernova remnants, galaxies of all types (and some knots in bright galaxies), and some erroneous entries corresponding to no objects at all.
