NGC 7098 The Steering Wheel Galaxy

I think this one looks like a car steering wheel hence the name from me.

Rarely imaged and I know why!

This is taking my imaging system at home to the max, with 12 inches of aperture, F3.8 and a 90% QE camera, 8 hours and 40 minutes and still not that bright or clean.

Best done from a dark site and a large scope I think and even then it would need long exposure.

I used a synthetic luminance as well on this one.
