About NGC 7814
NGC 7814 (C43) is catalogued as a galaxy in Pegasus. Its J2000 position is RA 00:03:15, Dec +16:08:43, corresponding to 0.8123 degrees RA and 16.1452 degrees Dec. The local catalogue places it about 49,000,000 light-years away. Its referenced angular extent is approximately 6.76 by 3.28 arcminutes.
Observing tips
StarWatchr rates this as a very hard target at magnitude 10.4. It is associated with autumn observing, with midnight placement typically strongest around September. From 52 degrees north its theoretical meridian altitude is about 54.1 degrees; local horizons and the live altitude chart determine the practical window.
Because it is faint, use a larger aperture where possible, avoid bright Moon conditions, and use averted vision.
What to expect
The SIMBAD classification for the matched source is GiG. SIMBAD records the morphology as S. A published radial velocity value is 1048 km/s. The SIMBAD record currently connects it to 317 bibliographic references.
At roughly 6.8 arcminutes across, it benefits from a narrower field and adequate image scale. Use the listed 6.76 by 3.28 arcminute extent to check framing, and treat catalogue magnitude as integrated brightness rather than a direct measure of visual contrast.
