List Of NGC Objects (1001–2000)
This is a list of NGC objects 1001–2000 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 constellation information in these tables is taken from ''The Complete New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters by J. L. E. Dreyer'', which was accessed using the "VizieR Service". Galaxy morphological types and objects that are members of the Large Magellanic Cloud are identified using the ''NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database''. The other data of these tables are from Wolfgang Steinicke's ''Revised New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue'' and/or the SIMBAD Astronomical Database unless otherwise stated. 1001–1100 1101–1200 1201–1300 1301–1400 1401–1500 1501–1600 1601–1700 1701–1800 1801–1900 1901–2000 See also * Lists of astronomical objects ...

New General Catalogue
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. Dreyer published two supplements to the NGC in 1895 and 1908, known as the ''Index Catalogues'' (abbreviated IC), describing a further 5,386 astronomical objects. Thousands of these objects are best known by their NGC or IC numbers, which remain in widespread use. The NGC expanded and consolidated the cataloguing work of William and Caroline Herschel, and John Herschel's ''General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars''. Objects south of the celestial equator are catalogued somewhat less thoroughly, but many were included based on observation by John Herschel or James Dunlop. The NGC contained multiple errors, but attempts to eliminate them were made by the ''Revised New General Catalogue'' (RNGC) by Jack W. Sulent ...
