NGC7814
About this celestial object
NGC 7814 presents a slender, edge-on spindle with a bright bulge in Pegasus.
This nearly edge-on spiral is known for its narrow dust lane set against a dominant bulge—small yet elegant.
Despite the short 250 mm focal length, both the nucleus and the elongated light lane register; stacking over 3980 s enhances their visibility.
The humid air required careful exposure and clean focus to gain contrast.
