The Revised New General Catalogue (RNGC) is a revision to the original New General Catalogue made by J. L. E. Dreyer. Some of the brightnesses of objects measured by Dreyer were not accurate or the desciption of the object was not accurate. Therefore they were revised. Most planetarium computer programs use the RNGC and the RIC as a source for their Deep Sky object dataset.
