rule! Turns out NGC 7449 is on my favorites list and is a big stepping
stone
object in my history with this hobby.

I'm sure you meant NGC 7479...

This was one of the objects I was lucky enough to view through the 82" @
McDonald a couple of years ago, and it was one of the more spectacular
objects of the entire weekend. Here is what I wrote then;

NGC 7479, Pegasus,
This barred spiral has 2 major arms, and completely fills the 5 arc-
minute FOV. One of the arms is very subtle and wraps back on itself
near the bar, while the other arm ventures far from the nucleus and
forms a huge loop. A very unique object in this telescope, and a
wonderful surprise, I didn't expect it to look this good.
