This is a list of NGC objects 6001–7000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). The astronomical catalogue is composed mainly of star clusters , nebulae , and galaxies . Other objects in the catalogue can be found in the other subpages of the list of NGC objects .
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. The NGC contains 7,840 objects, including galaxies , star clusters and emission nebulae .
Méchain later concluded that this object was simply a re-observation of M101, though some sources suggest that the object Méchain observed was the galaxy NGC 5866 and identify that as M102. [ 12 ] Messier's final catalogue was included in the Connaissance des Temps pour l'Année 1784 [ Knowledge of the Times for the Year 1784 ], the French ...
