NGC 7590 is a spiral galaxy of the Hubble type (SAbc)[2] in the constellation Grus. This galaxy is in the upper middle west part of the Virgo Supercluster.[1]. NGC 7590 was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop in 1826[3] While the neighboring NGC 7599 is marginally brighter, NGC 7590 is easier to identify due to its bright Seyfert core and an adjacent star of 13th magnitude.[4]
