 These objects are listed in the accompanying table in order of increasing right ascension.
Given first is the number in the New General Catalogue (NGC), or its supplemental Index Catalogue (IC), or the catalogue
by P. Collinder; two naked-eye clusters are called by their popular names.
The next column describes each object and gives its Messier number, if applicable.
In the next column is the location of the object in 2000 coordinates. Finally, the total visual magnitude is
given and approximate angular dimensions.
The size actually seen will vary with the instrument used.
