Barnard and IFN

This is the latest image out of Clayton Observatories. Taken with the OOUK AG12 with repaired Wynne corrector. The image is of NGC6822 or more commonly known as Barnard's Galaxy. It is a small barred irregular spiral which is close by to our galaxy the Milky Way. The galaxy has quite a few star forming regions which are intriguing to view. Also of interest is the integrated flux nebula (IFN) which has been captured here.

This image is the first one that I have felt reasonably reasonably happy about the star shapes, though there still appears to be some need to adjust the spacing between the corrector and sensor. I'll tweak it in the next few days and hopefully that will resolve things.
