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.
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.

Stephan's Quintet is a visual grouping of five galaxies of which four form the first compact galaxy group ever discovered. [2] The group, visible in the constellation Pegasus, was discovered by Édouard Stephan in 1877 at the Marseille Observatory. [3] The group is the most studied of all the compact galaxy groups. [2]
