NGC 7814 in Pegasus

NGC 7814, known as the Little Sombrero Galaxy because of its similarity to M104, The Sombrero Galaxy in Virgo, is an edge-on class Sa galaxy in Pegasus. It is seen almost perfectly edge-on from our point of view, so the dust lane cuts through the very center of the galaxy. The dust lane almost disappears at its midpoint where it bisects and is nearly overwhelmed by a nucleus that is brighter on the north side. The galaxy lies 40 million light-years from Earth.

Exposures: L:R:G:B = 110:65:65:65 minutes =1 hour 5 minutes 5 hours, 5 minutes total exposure, completely unguided.
