Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7412A = ESO 290- G028 is a very low surface brightness, late-type spindle
galaxy. Its light distribution is asymmetrical, and it appears as a fainter
analogue of NGC 55.
With no obvious nucleus or bright bulge, the position is poorly constrained.
The one that I've finally chosen applies more or less to the center of the
bulge as seen on the DSS2B and R images. As the galaxy's position angle is
almost exactly 90 degrees, however, the declination is considerably more
accurate than the RA.
