I tried this one last night and got 8 lum exposures in between the passing Hi-cirrus before the sky closed in. Also known as the Little Sombrero galaxy, but isn't that little, I'll coin it the Fall Sombrero instead.

Clear skies,
Steve

Nice capture Peter. Per your title, I would personally always refer to it as NGC 7814 since that is a proper catalogue designation. The Caldwell number is an observing list and most people would not know the object by that designation. I know many objects by their NGC and IC numbers and where they are located. But when someone mentions a Caldwell number I always have to look up its cross-reference to the catalogue. :)
