Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7000 (= GC 4621 = JH 2096 = WH V 37?, 1860 RA 20 53 48, NPD 46 13.1) is "faint, most extremely large, diffuse nebulosity".
Historical Notes: Corwin also notes William Herschel's position for the bright, southernmost part of the nebula as RA 20 58 21, Dec +43 23 54.
Note About PGC Designation: As usual for NGC objects, HyperLEDA added a PGC designation for this object, even though it isn't a galaxy; but also as usual in such circumstances, a search of the database for that designation returns no result, so it is shown in quotes.
Physical Information: One of the most famous bright nebulae in the heavens, the North America Nebula is shaped very much like its namesake. Despite its relative brightness, its large size and low surface brightness make it undetectable with the unaided eye except in very dark skies, and even then only by using special filters to increase the contrast of its line radiation. The North America and Pelican nebulae (IC 5070) are part of an approximately 100 light year wide ionized hydrogen region. Their shapes and apparent separation are due to clouds of obscuring dust lying between us and them. What star or stars are responsible for heating the gas has long been unknown. Recently, the 2MASS infrared telescope, concentrating on the area obscured by dust, has shown that there is a massive O-type star in the general area of the nebulae, which is the most likely source of their radiation. Estimates of the distance of the North America and Pelican nebulae vary considerably, ranging from as little as 1500 light years to as much as 2200 light years.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7001 (= GC 4622 = JH 2095, 1860 RA 20 53 55, NPD 90 44.6) is "extremely faint, small, extended 0°". The first IC adds "7001 is pretty bright, according to Spitaler". The position precesses to RA 21 01 06.4, Dec -00 11 53, on the western rim of the galaxy listed above, the description fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 1.3 by 1.05 arcmin (from the images below).

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7002 (= GC 4623 = JH 3848, 1860 RA 20 53 57, NPD 139 35.0) is "considerably faint, considerably small, round, brighter middle". The position precesses to RA 21 03 42.0, Dec -49 02 06, just outside the southwestern border of the galaxy listed above, the description fits and there is nothing comparable nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 1.75 by 1.45 arcmin (from the images below). The galaxy to the southwest (PGC 3935314) may be a companion of NGC 7002, as their recessional velocities only differ by 350 km/sec, or they may not have any physical relationship, since that difference in recessional velocity could correspond to a difference in distance of more than 15 million light years.

Designation Note: Although listed in LEDA as PGC 3935314, a search of the database for that designation returns no result; instead, both the LEDA and NED databases use the 2MASX designation.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 0.25 by 0.15 arcmin (from the image below). PGC 3935314 may be a companion of NGC 7002, as their recessional velocities only differ by 350 km/sec, or they may not have any physical relationship, since that difference in recessional velocity could correspond to a difference in distance of more than 15 million light years.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7003 (= GC 5982, d'Arrest, 1860 RA 20 54 09, NPD 72 44.5) is "very faint, very small, a little extended, 15th magnitude star close to east". The position precesses to RA 21 00 37.0, Dec +17 48 12, about 1.3 arcmin west southwest of the galaxy listed above, the description fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 1.1 by 0.75 arcmin (from the images below).

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7004 (= GC 4624 = JH 3849, 1860 RA 30 54 14, NPD 139 40.5) is "extremely faint, round, a little brighter middle, 11th magnitude star to east" (the NGC RA is a printing error; it should be 20 54 14). The position precesses to RA 21 03 59.3, Dec -49 07 33, only 0.8 arcmin southwest of the galaxy listed above, the description fits (Herschel could only have seen the more or less round nucleus of the galaxy) and there is nothing else nearby save for NGC 7002, which was also observed by Herschel, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 1.2 by 0.5 arcmin (from the images below).

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7005 (= GC 5983, d'Arrest, 1860 RA 20 54 16, NPD 103 25.8) is "a cluster, small, poor (nebulous?)". The second IC notes (per Howe) "No nebulosity" (his paper also states that it is merely a coarse cluster, with the 3 brightest stars being of magnitude 9). The position precesses to RA 21 01 57.5, Dec -12 53 00, within the triangle formed by the three brightest members of the group of stars listed above, the description fits and there is nothing similar nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 3.8 by 1.8 arcmin (from the images below).

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7006 (= GC 4625 = JH 2097 = WH I 52, 1860 RA 20 54 58, NPD 74 21.5) is "bright, pretty large, round, gradually brighter middle". The position precesses to RA 21 01 30.3, Dec +16 11 19, well within the outline of the cluster listed above, the description fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 3.6 arcmin (from the images below). Distance about 135,000 light years, in the outer fringes of the Milky Way (that is, in its halo). (The 3.2 arcmin wide HST image shows the inner 125 light years.)

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7007 (= GC 4626 = JH 3850, 1860 RA 20 55 23, NPD 143 06.1) is "pretty bright, small, round, pretty suddenly brighter middle, among stars". The position precesses to RA 21 05 27.4, ec -52 32 58, well within the outline of the galaxy listed above, the description fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size 2.0 by 1.2? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7008 (= GC 4627 = JH 2099 = WH I 192, 1860 RA 20 56 28, NPD 35 59.8) is "considerably bright, large, extended 45°±, mottled but not resolved, double star attached".
PGC Designation Note: For purposes of completeness, LEDA assigned a PGC designation for this object, even though it isn't a galaxy; however, a search of the database for that designation returns no result, so the designation is shown quotes.
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.43 arcmin?

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7009 (= GC 4628 = JH 2098 = WH IV 1, Lalande 40765, 1860 RA 20 56 33, NPD 101 54.9) is "a magnificent or otherwise interesting object, a planetary nebula, very bright, small, elliptic". The position precesses to RA 21 04 10.5, Dec -11 21 46, essentially dead center on the nebula listed above, the description fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Discovery Note: Lalande's observation was one of a number of cases in which his star catalog (published in 1801, and compiled during the previous decade) included objects that were not actually stars, but starlike nebulae, and two observations of Neptune made on May 8 and May 10 of 1795 (just over 51 years before its discovery as a planet). Though not noted by Dreyer, Howe later added "This planetary nebula is but slightly elliptical, being perhaps 15" by 11", the major axis having a position angle of about 70°. The colour is a beautiful greenish blue."
PGC Designation Note: For purposes of completeness, HyperLEDA assigned a PGC designation for this object, even though it isn't a galaxy; however, a search of the database for that designation returns no result, so the designation is shown quotes.
Physical Information: The distance of NGC 7009 is uncertain (as is true for most planetary nebulae). The best recent estimate is about 5200 light years, but earlier values are as low as 3900 light years. (The press release for the HST image shown below gives a distance of 1400 light years, but that must be a typographical error for 1400 parsecs, which is about 4500 light years). Based on an approximate distance of 5000 light years, the apparent size of the central nebula (about 0.5 by 0.2 arcmin) corresponds to about 0.7 to 0.75 light years, and the overall size of the nebula (about 1.0 by 0.85 arcmin including the outer nearly circular structures, all sizes taken from the images below) corresponds to about 1.45 light years. The central star is a hot (about 100,000 Fahrenheit degrees) white dwarf of apparent magnitude 11.5. The ESO study of the nebula shows a dramatic drop in the spatial density of dust grains at the rim of the elliptical inner structure, which is a shock wave associated with the last stage of the star's transformation from a red giant into a white dwarf. It is thought that as the shock wave expands, its interaction with dust grains in the surrounding nebula vaporizes them; but further study may provide alternate explanations for the phenomenon.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7010 (= GC 4629 = JH 2100, 1860 RA 20 57 06, NPD 103 03.1) is "extremely faint, pretty large, round, mottled but not resolved". The second IC adds (per Howe) "RA 20 56 59, NPD 102 53.5, extremely faint, small, round, a little brighter middle".
Discovery Note: Howe stated that he could not find Herschel's nebula at the stated place, but that there was a nebula 10 arcmin to the north that was a good match to Herschel's description; hence the IC2 correction by Dreyer.
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.9 by 1.0 arcmin?

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7011 (= GC 4630 = JH 2101, 1860 RA 20 57 08, NPD 43 13.8) is "a cluster, no description". The position above is Corwin's position for the core of the cluster, but he lists the center of the group as RA 21 01 43, Dec +47 20 12.
Physical Information: Apparent size 4 arcmin?

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7012 (= GC 4631 = JH 3851, 1860 RA 20 57 21, NPD 135 22.2) is "faint, pretty large, extended, very gradually a very little brighter middle, star to west".
Physical Information: Apparent size 2.4 by 1.3? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7013 (= GC 4632 = JH 2102 = WH II 203, 1860 RA 20 57 38, NPD 60 39.3) is "pretty bright, considerably small, round, pretty suddenly brighter middle, pretty bright star to northwest".
Physical Information: Apparent size 4.0 by 1.4? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7014 (= GC 4633 = JH 3852, 1860 RA 20 58 18, NPD 137 44.7) is "pretty faint, small, round, brighter middle, 2 stars of 12th magnitude to north".
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.7 by 1.4? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7015 (Stephan list IX (#26), Swift list II (#87), 1860 RA 20 58 53, NPD 79 08.6) is "very faint, pretty small, gradually a little brighter middle".
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.8 by 1.6? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7016 (Leavenworth list I (#237), 1860 RA 20 59 15, NPD 116 03.1) is "very faint, extremely small, round, brighter middle and nucleus, 1st of 3", the others being NGC 7017 and 7018. The second IC lists a corrected position (per Howe) of RA 20 59 04, NPD 116 01.8.
Physical Information: NGC 7016 is the brightest member of the NGC 7016 group of galaxies, which includes at least the nearer member of the apparent double NGC 7017, the two members of NGC 7018, and PGC 69143. Based on a recessional velocity of 11045 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates a distance of about 515 million light years; but for objects at that distance we should take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. (This is of course a consideration for all the members of the NGC 7016 group.) Doing that shows that the galaxy was just under 495 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, a little over 500 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light-travel time). Given that and its apparent size of 1.0 by 0.9 arcmin, NGC 7016 is about 140 thousand light years across.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7017 (Leavenworth list I (#238), 1860 RA 20 59 15, NPD 116 03.1) is "extremely faint, very small, round, brighter middle and nucleus, 2nd of 3", the others being NGC 7016 and 7018. The second IC lists a corrected position (per Howe) of RA 20 59 08, NPD 116 02.8.
Physical Information: NGC 7017 is comprised of a pair of galaxies, NGC 7017 NED01 (= PGC 2793723), and NGC 7017 NED02 (= PGC 66137). The former has a recessional velocity of 10385 km/sec, while the latter has a recessional velocity of 12890 km/sec, suggesting that they are not actually physically associated, but merely an optical double (the 2505 km/sec difference in recessional velocity corresponding to a difference in distance of more than 100 million light years). The western (and nearer) galaxy is a member of the NGC 7016 galaxy group, but the eastern (and more distant) galaxy is not. The apparent size of the pair is about 0.6 by 0.5? arcmin. (More to follow, including distances calculated using relativistic corrections.)

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7018 (Leavenworth list I (#239), 1860 RA 20 59 15, NPD 116 01.1) is "very faint, very small, very little extended, gradually a little brighter middle, 3rd of 3", the others being NGC 7016 and 7017. The second IC lists a corrected position (per Howe) of RA 20 59 13, NPD 115 59.3. Part of the NGC 7016 group of galaxies.
Physical Information: A double system consisting of NGC 7018 NED01 and NED02 (each PGC listing refers to the pair, not to either individual galaxy). Recessional velocity for NED01 is 11695 km/sec, for NED02 11515 km/sec. Apparent size 1.3 by 0.8? arcmin, but with an extended envelope about 2 arcmin across. (More to follow)

Physical Information: Recessional velocity 11380 km/sec, apparent size 0.4 by 0.3? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7019 (Leavenworth list I (#240), 1860 RA 20 59±, NPD 114 58.1) is "very faint, very small, round, suddenly brighter middle and nucleus".
Physical Information: Apparent size 0.6 by 0.3? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7020 (= GC 4635 = JH 3853, 1860 RA 20 59 39, NPD 154 35.8) is "pretty bright, considerably small, a little extended, pretty gradually brighter middle".
Physical Information: Apparent size 3.5 by 1.6? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7021 (= GC 4636 = JH 3854, 1860 RA 20 59 39, NPD 154 05.6) is "pretty faint, considerably small, round, pretty suddenly brighter middle, 7th or 8th magnitude star to west". The second IC notes "Not seen, DeLisle Stewart and Frost (h. one observation)", "h." being John Herschel. (Obviously not seen because JH's NPD was half a degree too far to the north.)
Discovery Notes: Stewart and Frost's comments were based on 4-hour wide-field photographic exposures. Stewart found no new nebulae on plate 5371, but stated that he could not find NGC 7021; while Frost found nine new nebulae on plate 6585, but also noted that he could not find NGC 7021. (Per Corwin) neither of them realized that the missing NGC 7021 might be a misrecorded duplicate observation of NGC 7020 (which lies 30 arcmin to the south of the NGC position for NGC 7021).
Physical Information: Given the duplicate entry, see NGC 7020 for anything else.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7022 (= GC 4637 = JH 3855, 1860 RA 20 59 45, NPD 139 52.2) is "most extremely faint, small, round, bright triple star to southeast".
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.5 by 1.1? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7023 (= GC 4634 = WH IV 74, 1860 RA 20 59 51, NPD 22 23.3) is "a 7th magnitude star in an extremely faint, extremely large nebulosity." The position precesses to RA 21 01 36.8, Dec +68 09 53, almost dead center on the nebula listed above (and very close to the position of the star that lights it up, which is the position given in the description line), the description fits and there is nothing comparable nearby, so the identification is certain.
Discovery Note: Per Gottlieb, Wolf's photograph showed that there was a half-degree wide circle surrounding the nebula "absolutely empty of faint stars". This presumably represents the absorption nebulae surrounding the emission nebula (probably partly gas and dust ejected from the region early on, and now so far from the central star that it doesn't receive enough radiation to allow it to glow in visible wavelengths, as well as part of the extensive network of absorption nebulae in the region). Stars in front of the absorption nebula are visible and relatively bright, because they are close to us; the faint stars not seen by Wolf are background objects whose light is absorbed by the dust lying between us and them. Gottlieb also states that Roberts took an even earlier photograph of the void, but gives no date for that observation.
PGC Designation: As usual for NGC objects, HyperLEDA assigned a PGC designation for this object, even though it isn't a galaxy; but also as usual for such situations, a search of the database for the PGC designation returns no result, hence its being placed in quotes.
Physical Information: The star and open cluster associated with it are about 1300 light years away. The nebulosity is a reflection nebula, and like most reflection nebulae exhibits an even bluer color (due to light scattered by the dust in the nebula) than the hot, bluish star which lights it up. (The fanciful name of the nebula is based on its flowerlike shape and bluish tint.) Modern images also show extended dark clouds surrounding the emission nebula, which are primarily observed by the infrared radiation they emit. The open cluster is about 10 arcmin wide, which at its distance corresponds to about 3 light years, while the reflection nebula is about twice that size. The star which provides the main illumination for the nebula is HD 200775, a Be star (an emission-line star with a surface temperature between 20 and 40 thousand Fahrenheit degrees, so that most of its radiation is in the ultraviolet). The star is believed to still be contracting toward the Main Sequence, and is probably between 5 and 15 times the mass of the Sun. Its formation probably began about 100 thousand years ago, and it heated up and mostly blew away the gas and dust obscuring it (and now forming both the reflection and emission nebulae surrounding the star) about 5 thousand years ago. Once it reaches the Main Sequence it should last about a hundred million years before going supernova and becoming a neutron star (or perhaps a black hole).

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7024 (= GC 4638 = JH 2103 = WH VIII 57, 1860 RA 21 00 46, NPD 49 04.0) is "a cluster, poor, a little compressed, stars from 10th magnitude".
Physical Information: Apparent size about 10 arcmin?

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7025 (= GC 5984, Marth #433, 1860 RA 21 01 14, NPD 74 13) is "very faint, very small, round, stellar".
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.9 by 1.2? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7026 (Burnham, 1860 RA 21 01 33, NPD 42 42.8) is "pretty bright, binuclear, planetary nebula". The position precesses to RA 21 06 21.1, Dec +47 50 50, which is close to the southeastern corner of the nebula; so the identification is certain.
PGC Designation Note: For purposes of completeness, LEDA assigned a PGC designation for this object, even though it isn't a galaxy; however, a search of the database for that designation returns no result, so the designation is shown quotes.
Physical Information: The brightest parts of NGC 7026 do have a binuclear appearance, which has led to its fanciful modern moniker; but the nebula is actually a much larger, more elongated structure than views of its brighter central region might lead one to suspect. NGC 7026 is about 6500 light years away. Given that and its 0.7 by 0.4 arcmin apparent size, its longest (north-south) dimension is a little over one light year.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7027 (Stephan list IX (#27), Webb, 1860 RA 21 01 48, NPD 48 19.6) is "a planetary nebula, stellar = 8.5 magnitude". The position precesses to RA 21 07 01.7, Dec +2 14 06, almost dead center on the nebula listed above, the description fits and there is nothing comparable nearby, so the identification is certain.
PGC Designation Note: For purposes of completeness, LEDA assigned a PGC designation for this object, even though it isn't a galaxy; however, a search of the database for that designation returns no result, so the designation is shown quotes.
Physical Information: NGC 7027 is thought to be about 3000 light years away. Given that and its apparent size of about 1.1 by 1.0 arcmin for the outermost 'shells', about 0.3 by 0.25 arcmin for the most recent event and only about 0.2 arcmin for the central dust cloud (from the images below), the largest and oldest shell is about a light year across, while the newest one is only about a quarter of a light year in diameter, and the dust cloud spans less than a fifth of a light year (which is unusually small for any part of a planetary nebula, but is hardly surprising, since it is so "young" that it hasn't had enough time to expand to a larger size). Its small size and age makes this planetary exceptionally bright, for as they expand the gases in such nebulae become less dense and are also further from the source of their energy (namely, high-energy radiation from the central star(s), each of which facts reduces the gas' brightness.
 The overall nebula is unusully massive, with perhaps 3 solar masses in its multiple clouds of glowing gas, indicating that although the remaining stellar mass is only about 0.7 Solar masses, the original mass of the star that created the nebula was closer to 4 Solar masses. It is usually expected that such stars will end their lives as supernovae, but as shown by this object, if enough mass can be ejected prior to the star's final death throes, there is no reason that it cannot become a white dwarf instead. As noted in the next paragraph, there is a very good chance that the "star" is actually an extremely close binary. If so, it must have always been a binary, and as discussed on my page about Mass Transfer In Binary Star Systems, all sorts of interesting things can happen in such a situation.
 Most of the "earlier" shells expanding ino space are roughly spherical and symmetrical, suggesting typical bursts of gas emission; but the most recently ejected material (blown into space perhaps 600 years before the light by which we currently see it was emitted) has a far more complex structure, and includes not only hot gas but also large amounts of cool dust (as a result, most of the HST images are false-color composites of visible and infrared radiation). Two slightly different theories suggest that the latest outbust may be the result of the central "star" actually being an extremely close binary (perhaps even close enough that the two stars, now both white dwarfs, may share a common envelope), and that an accretion disk formed by material being transferred between them is (1) gradually causing them to spiral toward each other, thereby decreasing not only the size but also the period of their orbital motion, and also (2) causing an ejection of material in a more or less "polar" direction (that is, perpendicular to the orbital motion and the plane of the accretion disk). The central star (or stars) is/are about magnitude 16.3 (since they have collapsed to form white dwarfs as a result of the ejection of most of their mass, and the small size of such dwarfs makes them very faint).

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7028 (= GC 5985, Marth #434, 1860 RA 21 01 48, NPD 72 05) is "very faint, small, very little extended".

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7029 (= GC 4639 = JH 3856, 1860 RA 21 02 07, NPD 139 51.4) is "bright, considerably small, round, pretty gradually much brighter middle".
Physical Information: Apparent size 2.5 by 1.4? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7030 (Leavenworth list I (#241), 1860 RA 21 02 15, NPD 111 04.2) is "very faint, very small, irregularly round, brighter middle and nucleus". The first IC adds "Min of (1860) RA is 3 (Ormond Stone)".
Physical Information: Apparent size 0.9 by 0.7? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7031 (= GC 4640 = JH 2105 = WH VIII 74, 1860 RA 21 02 46, NPD 39 43.2) is "a cluster of triple stars, a little compressed".
Physical Information: Apparent size 15? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7032 (= GC 4641 = JH 3857, 1860 RA 21 02 47, NPD 158 52.0) is "very faint, considerably small, round, gradually a little brighter middle".
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.1 by 1.0? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7033 (= GC 5986, Marth #435, 1860 RA 21 03 02, NPD 75 27) is "very faint, small, round".
Physical Information: Apparent size 0.8 by 0.5? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7034 (= GC 5987, Marth #436, 1860 RA 21 03 04, NPD 75 25) is "very faint, very small, round".
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.0 by 0.7? arcmin

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7035 (Muller list II (#460), 1860 RA 21 03 15, NPD 113 39.2) is "extremely faint, small, irregularly round".
Warning About Non-Standard Designations: This galaxy is sometimes called NGC 7035, and sometimes NGC 7035A, while its companion is sometimes called NGC 7035A, and at others times NGC 7035B. This sort of confusion is a perfect example of why "letter" designations for NGC/IC objects should never be used.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7036 (= GC 4642 = JH 2104, 1860 RA 21 03 37, NPD 75 07.1) is "a cluster, a little compressed".

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7037 (= GC 4643 = JH 2106, 1860 RA 21 05 03, NPD 56 50.8) is "a cluster, pretty rich, irregular figure, stars from 11th to 15th magnitude".
