New General Catalogue (in order of right ascension)
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.
William Herschel’s Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, arranged in order of right ascension (1786) is the precursor to the NGC.
The deep sky objects are sorted by right ascension. Right ascension is the celestial equivalent of longitude on earth, while declination is like latitude. These specify an object’s celestial coordinates.
Stellarium Astronomy Software
Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. With Stellarium you can view the ephemeris (path) of asteroids, view deep sky objects (galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae), search for eclipses, and more.

Additional notes
Regarding the deep sky object markers/indicators on each entry:
There is no difference between the 4-pointed star and the dashed circle; I’m just trying to use the clearest way visually to indicate each object for a particular image.
