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 7007
NGC 7007 is a lenticular galaxy with a small bar, around 100 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Indus. It was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on July 8, 1834. The galaxy is a type 2 seyfert galaxy, and is host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 4.9 × 107 M☉. Like all lenticular galaxies, NGC 7007 has a classical disk similar to most galaxies of its type, having a nearly spherical bulge. Unlike most galaxies of its type, the pattern of dust in NGC 7007 is not circular and continuous surrounding the bulge but shows breaks in its structure. These dust lanes also appear to form dusty spiral arms similar to the Sa galaxies NGC 2855, NGC 4984, and NGC 7377. NGC 7007 is an isolated galaxy, with it a part of the Telescopium−Grus Cloud, a galaxy filament.
