Thanks muchly Paul.

We've stared at both your image and ours, and we can't see Patchick 161. Google referred us to your image! How far is it in minutes of arc from the centre of Barnard's galaxy, and what is its diameter in minutes of arc? Could you circle it on a thumbnail?

Very best,
Mike

Here are some circled images. The colour version which is the first colour image of this object (top left) and an OIII image (independent discovery image) As you can see it is very faint. As you can see it is a similar size to Barnard's Galaxy, I think with enough integration you would get a pretty interesting looking image.

Now all is clear.

Top class job Paul, spottlng such a super-faint OIII ring.

Thanks so much Tim.
We're strongly motivated after 4 months of no camera, then a hot and cloudy autumn, and many another fine technical catastrophe.

Cheers,
