Rich, that's a great site.. I was looking for some catalog downloads and that site has just what I was after.

Vind, you can also try http://www.ngcic.org. Some good stuff there.

Guys, this thread has saved me a wad of cash. I had almost given up on finding this stuff in a readily downloadable form and was going to order some stuff from OS. I have also been wanting a complete NGC catalogue.

Thanks.

I couldn't get onto the nexstar site, but iceman's suggestion is a good one! I downloaded the database and converted it to an excel file, all optimised for viewing onscreen and printing. I must be bored!
Click <a href="http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/trufflehunter/NGC.zip">here</a> to download it (830KB, zipped)

NB there are no copyright restrictions on this file, according to the website, as long as it's not used for commercial purposes.
