ESO236-SC007

RA 21:21:28
Dec -51°48.7'
Open cluster

NGC 7059
ESO145-G005
RA 21:27:21
Dec -60°00.9'
Galaxy

h: "B, lE, gpmbM, 90 arcseconds long, 40 arcseconds broad."

West (1977, Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. 27, 73-88) writes: "This galaxy, which is listed in the 'Reference Catalogue', shows several crossing, knotty arms on the ESO(B) and the Las Campanas IIIa-J plate. The knots may be traced to 1.5' from the centre. A somewhat diffuse spectrum .. gives a velocity of 1500 kms-1. This corresponds to an overall diameter of 21 kpc"

RA 21:29:02
Dec -52°46.0'
Galaxy

h: "eF, vmE, in pos = 90.8 degrees, vgbM,80 arcseconds long, has a star south."
