Description

B 140, in Aquila, is one of the least imaged dark nebulae from Barnard's Catalogue.
It is only mentioned in the catalogue as a "Semi-vacant region; diam. 1 deg", and does not appear on the plates that were published. 
According to the authors of "The Barnard Objects" (Springer, 2023), "Unfortunately, those images are not available since most of Barnard's photographic plates have not been digitized and are not available for researchers."
