Barnard's Galaxy NGC2207/IC2163 pair

[John Hothersall]

SPX350 F4.53, ST10XME, Astrodon filters.

Had a try at Barnards Galaxy 6822 which is near the Mway 1.6mill lyrs away and a quick image of interacting NGC2207/IC2163 110 million light years away in Canis Mj which is also near the MWay so plenty of stars.

NGC2207 is tidally stripping IC2163 and has been the site for 4 supernova since 1975. The two galaxies do look attractive but are not imaged much.

Very nice. This is one of the few targets I had to give up on due to light pollution. :(

Barnards Galaxy is quite an interesting one, you've made me want to revisit my pretty poor attempt at it :lol:

Nicely done on difficult targets

Nice images John. That pair of galaxies looks interesting. I must add those to the list.
