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 constellation information in these tables is from The Complete New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters by J. L. E. Dreyer , [ 1 ...
ESO Science Archive has been providing access to data from astronomical catalogs since 1988. [1]An astronomical catalog or catalogue is a list or tabulation of astronomical objects, typically grouped together because they share a common type, morphology, origin, means of detection, or method of discovery.
An illustration of the constellation Perseus (after Perseus from Greek mythology) from the star atlas published by the Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius in 1690. A star catalogue is an astronomical catalogue that lists stars. In astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue numbers. There are a great many different star catalogues ...

Unlike objects in the Messier catalogue, which are listed roughly in the order of discovery by Messier and his colleagues, [5] the Caldwell catalogue is ordered by declination, with C1 being the most northerly and C109 being the most southerly, [1] although two objects (NGC 4244 and the Hyades) are listed out of sequence.
