NGC2442 S shaped galaxy

A brief semi clear patch last night so I took advantage of that and picked up 3 hours on NGC2442. I have been wanting to image this galaxy for a long time. Its quite an interesting galaxy. Strange how there are so many different shapes in galaxies around. I wonder why it ends up S shaped rather than a full spiral?

I intend to add more to it if I get the chance. There was a bit of high cloud around at the time as well.

Planewave CDK17, FLI Proline 16803, Astrodon Gen 11, PME mount, 10 minute subs, luminance 1x1 and colour 2x2 at -35C.

LRGB 90 30 30 30.
