The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated as NGC) is a catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. The NGC contains 7,840 objects, known as the NGC objects. It is one of the largest comprehensive catalogues, as it includes all types of deep space objects, including galaxies, star clusters, emission nebulae and absorption nebulae.

NGC 1700
NGC 1700 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus. It is located at a distance of about 120 million light years from Earth based on redshift-independent methods, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 1700 is about 110,000 light years across. Based on its redshift, the galaxy sits roughly 170 million light years away from the Sun. It was discovered by William Herschel on October 5, 1785.
