Mike S did this one a few years back and I was impressed by this galaxy. I thought all the weird distorted ones were mostly Northern Hemisphere.
You can see how the companion galaxy has distorted what would otherwise be a well formed spiral galaxy somewhat like NGC6744.
10 hours 40 minutes. I may add to this tonight as its a dim one. Taken from my home observatory with a new revised processing approach which doesn't trash the stars!
AP Honders 305, SX Trius 694, AP1600GTO mount. 77% QE of the Trius and the F3.8 of the Honders have worked well here to show this "relatively" brightly as its a very dim galaxy.
