FEATURED OBJECTS: NGC 7090, NGC 7124, NGC 7125, NGC 7126, NGC 7151, NGC 7168, IC 5152, NGC 7196, NGC 7205.

NGC 7090
ESO188-G012
RA 21:36:28
Dec -54°33.4'
Galaxy

h: "pB, L, vmE in pos 127.1 degrees, first gradually then pslbM to a v feeble nucleus; 4' long, 40 arcseconds broad, has a star 11m preceding."

Hartung notes: “In a field with a few scattered stars on a very faint ground is a moderately bright lengthened haze at least 5’ x 0.5’ in pa 130 deg rising somewhat to the axis but without a bright nucleus. 20cm deals fairly well with it and 15cm shows a faint streak.”

G. de Vaucouleurs ("Galaxies and the Universe", Chapter 14 - Nearby Groups of Galaxies) notes that the Pavo-Indus Cloud includes the NGC 7079 and NGC 7213 Groups. Foreground members are NGC 7090, IC 5152 & IC 5201. NGC 6970 is a background member. The five brightest members of the Pavo-Indus Cloud are NGC 7213, NGC 7205, NGC 7049, NGC 7083 & NGC 7144.

NGC 7124
ESO237-G002, ESO236-G049
RA 21:48:04
Dec -50°33.9'
Galaxy

h: "eF, lE, glbM, 70 arcseconds long, 1' broad." On a second occassion he called it "B, L, pmE, vgbM, 2' long, 80 arcseconds broad." His third observation was recorded as "vF, pmE, vglbM."

Further details appear in: De Vaucouleurs (1956) “Survey of bright galaxies south of -35° declination”, Mem. Mount Stromlo, No. 13. (photographic study, plates taken with the 30-inch Reynolds reflector, 20-inch diaphragm).

h: "eF, pL, R, 1', the preceding of two." The other object is NGC 7126.

Green, M. R. & Dixon, K. L. (1978) “Photoelectric photometry of bright southern galaxies”, Vol 98, August, p 167-169. They find the V magnitude through a 40’’ aperture = 13.88.
