NGC 2000.0, The Complete New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters by J.L.E. Dreyer (1988)

Abstract: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 B2000.0 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. The catalog lists object ID, object type, positions in equinox B2000.0, source of modern data (see NGC 2000 paperback copy), constellation, object size, magnitude, and the ...(more)

Appreciation is expressed to William E. Shawcross for responding to a request from the ADC to make NGC 2000.0 available to the scientific community in machine-readable form. Mr. Shawcross also arranged for a copy of the machine-readable TEX file to be created for deposit in the archives of the data centers. I am grateful to both Mr. Shawcross and to Roger W. Sinnott for reviewing a draft copy of this document and making comments. The comments resulted in the finding and elimination of a few TEX symbols that were missed during the initial work. The meticulous documentation initiated by Wayne H. Warren at ADC (December 1989) is the basis of the present document.
