ASTRO: NGC 7750

NGC 7750 is a spiral galaxy in Pisces about 120 million light-years
distant. I'm not sure why I imaged it. I see it has virtually the same
redshift as Arp 68 about 39 minutes northeast. Could be I thought they
may be related. If so I see no sign of distortion that would indicate
interaction in the form of plumes. It is classed as (R')SB(rs)c pec: at
NED and SBc/P so both see it as pecular I see I mentioned it in my text
of Arp 68.

That must be why I imaged it though it's not on my to-do list. I see I
did put 7755 on the list but with the wrong declination. It is too low
for my latitude. Did I discover that and then look for something of
similar RA to image? Hard to remember back to August 18 of last year
when this was taken.

Nothing else in the field has any distance data with only a handful of
background galaxies even being listed in NED. There are two asteroids
in the image. Both with oddly curved trails. Remember the story of Arp
192's phantom "jet"? Its asteroid trail appeared curved so no one
considered the possibility it was an asteroid. Now I have two curved
trail asteroids in this image, both with the same curve. Yet my
tracking is smooth showing no sign of any tracking errors which would
alter the stars as well as the asteroid creating short vertical trails
for all stars. So what is going on. Wish I knew! The asteroid east of
NGC 7750 is (68675) 2002 CV123 at magnitude 19.3. The one above NGC
7750 is (151085) 2001 VK83 at magnitude 19.7.
