Nebulae NGC

Already in 1895 Dreyer published an update to his NGC: the Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, containing 1520 more objects. In 1908 a second list of 3866 objects was added (as for the first supplement, many of them recently discovered by photography), Collectively they are known as the IC-catalogue. In 1912 some errors were corrected.
