Caption to PR Photo 19d/99: This is a close-up
view of the double galaxy NGC 5090 (right) and NGC 5091 (left),
in the southern constellation Centaurus. The first is a typical S0
galaxy with a bright diffuse centre, surrounded by a fainter envelope of
stars (not resolved in this picture). However, some of the starlike objects
seen in this region may be globular clusters (or dwarf galaxies) in orbit
around NGC 5090. The other galaxy is of type Sa (the spiral structure
is more developed) and is seen at a steep angle. The three-colour composite
is based on frames obtained with KUEYEN on March 29, 1999, with the same
filters and exposure times as used for Photo 19b/99. The image quality
is 0.7 arcsec and the field is 90 x 90 arcsec2. North is up
and East is left. (Note inserted on April 26: The original caption text
identified the second galaxy as NGC 5090B - this error has now been corrected.
