Description

Barnard's Galaxy is a barred irregular galaxy approximately 1.6 million light years away which is similar in structure and composition to the SMC. I imaged this last year but with only just under 6 hours of data I hadn't realised that there was so much IFN around the area.  So when imaging it again this year, I added luminance and more Ha to try and capture it.  It was quite tricky to process as it was easy to lose it. I hope you enjoy it.
