Description

NGC 2000.0 is a modern compilation of the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC), the Index Catalogue (IC), and the Second Index Catalogue compiled by J. L. E. Dreyer (1888, 1895, 1908). The new compilation of these classical catalogs is intended to meet the needs of present-day observers by reporting positions at equinox 2000.0 and by incorporating the corrections reported by Dreyer himself and by a host of other astronomers who have worked with the data and compiled lists of errata. The object types given are those known to modern astronomy. This catalog is copyrighted by Sky Publishing Corporation, which has kindly deposited the machine-readble version in the data centers for permanent archiving and dissemination to astronomers for scientific research purposes only. The data should not be used for commercial purposes without the explicit permission of Sky Publishing Corporation. Information on how to contact Sky Publishing is available at <a href="http://www.shopatsky.com/contacts">http://www.shopatsky.com/contacts</a>. This HEASARC table was last updated in September 2022, based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/118">CDS catalog VII/118</a> file ngc2000.dat, in order to correct some truncated description fields. The previous update was in June 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
