Description

Before I went outside I decided that I was going to try and image NGC 6822 Barnard's Galaxy. It was very low in the sky and I was not sure if I could get an image because of this. To say this object is dim would probably be an understatement. I've wanted to image this object for several years but I kind of felt like I'd be wasting my time because it looked relatively dim in most of the images that I've seen. I wound up trashing half of my images because sky turbulence was washing out what little detail that was there. As I was imaging I could barely see a very dim smudge of light. Anyway with all of that said I did get an image and I'm pleased with it. Please enjoy my first image of NGC 6822.
