Contemporary Visual Observation(s) for NGC 7090
NGC 7090 = ESO 188-012 = AM 2133-544
21 36 28.9 -54 33 26
V = 10.7;  Size 7.4x1.3;  SB = 13.0;  PA = 127d

11" (8/8/04 - Haleakala Crater): moderately bright, fairly large, edge-on 5:1 
NW-SE, 4.0'x0.8', broad concentration but there is no distinct core.  Irregular 
surface brightness with a mottled appearance at 127x.  Appears to fade suddenly 
in a couple of spots (possibly due to dust) including just SE of a mag 13.5-14 
star which is superimposed on the SE side.  Viewed at an elevation of 13?.
