Mission Of The Project |
|---|
|
The NGC/IC Project is a collaborative effort between professional and amateur
astronomers to correctly identify
all of the original NGC and IC objects, starting with the original
discoverer's notes and working forward in time to encompass the work of contemporary
astronomers, both professional and amateur, such that the identity of each
of the NGC and IC objects is known with as much certainty as we can reasonably
bring to it from the existing historical record.
In so doing, we shall collect images for each object and assemble basic data for the objects -- positions, classifications, photometric parameters (magnitudes, diameters, position angles, colors, etc), and distances -- insofar as the data are accessible. |
