I've copied another batch of precise (mostly) positions for NGC/IC objects to the Lowell ftp area: ftp://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/bas/deepsky/hgcjr.ngcpos.dat This is based on Harold Corwin's list of identifications. The present list shows the first 1900 NGC objects, and the first 500 IC objects. The coordinates are good to ~0".2 for things with well-defined centers. \Brian -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
