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 5915
NGC 5915 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Libra. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 2449 ± 13 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 36.12 ± 2.54 Mpc (∼118 million light-years). It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 5 June 1836. NGC 5915 forms a galaxy triplet due to gravitational interactions with NGC 5916 and NGC 5916A (also known as PGC 54779). One supernova has been observed in NGC 5915: SN 2023cpt (type Ic, mag 17.1).
