| These are Steve Gottlieb's own personal observations for about 6571 original NGC entries (6750 total {NGC + alphabetic suffixed NGC} and 600 IC objects) all of which have been checked for historical accuracy. Outside of the NGC itself, this is likely the most complete contemporary resource of NGC observations, by a single observer, available anywhere. A hat tip and a salute to Steve! - Bob Erdmann |
