The NGC Asterisms
Stephen Saber 

Along with the single and double stars erroneously logged as deepsky targets in the New General Catalogue we can also find dozens of fainter asterisms that were originally observed to be (or be involved with) nebulous objects.
The target links below lead to additional NGC/IC data and DSS images. Large aperture scopes can also scrutinize these stellar suspects that snuck their way into our prestigious DSO database. Happy hunting!

Going Deep for Doubles: The NGC 140  
Stephen Saber

Lightbuckets can also check-out these diminutive doublestars from the NGC/IC database. Most are sufficiently dim so as not to have identifiers, exact magnitudes, spectra, or separations recorded.
Target links lead to additional NGC/IC data and DSS images.
In addition, the list provides many interesting insights into the NGC, as well as the observers and optics of that era. Also takes the heat off of Chuck Messier for his two stellar entries.
And kudos to Bob Erdmann, the NGC/IC Team, and SEDS for the most excellent and comprehensive resources.
