星云和星团总表

星云和星团总表（CN，Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars）是威廉·赫歇尔和他的助手卡罗琳·赫歇尔编辑的天体目录，初版在1786年发行。之后，他的儿子约翰·赫歇尔扩充另编一本星云和星团总表（GC，General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars），并在1864年出版。CN和GC是目前所使用，由约翰·路易·埃米尔·德雷耳编辑的星云和星团新总表（NGC，New General Catalogue）的前身。

历史

星云和星团总表（CN）是威廉·赫歇尔编辑，初版于1786年由自然科学会报发行^[1]在1789年，他另外加印了1,000本^[2]，最后在1802年再发行500本^[3]，总数成为2,500本。这是最先采用字母和数字的组合最为识别码的目录，以大写字母"H"接续数字来代表条目^[4]。

在1864年，CN被他的儿子约翰·赫歇尔扩充成为星云和星团总表（GC ）^[5]。GC收录了5,079个天体。稍后，补充的版本加入了多星和双星，称为10,300多星和双星总目录^[6]，以小写字母"h"跟随著数字编号代表条目^[4]

在1878年，约翰·路易·埃米尔·德雷耳出版了扩充的总目录 ^[7]在1886年，他建议再次补充总目录，但英国皇家天文学会要求他编一本全新的目录来取代。这导致在1888年出版了星云和星团新总表（NGC）^[8]，和它的两个扩充版：1895年和1908年的索引星表（IC，Index Catalogue）^[9]^[10]。
