Barnard's Galaxy - Widefield with IFN

For this imaging project I have collaborated with my good friend and imaging colleague, Niall MacNeill to present a widefield image of Barnard's Galaxy that includes the surrounding fields of IFN (a.k.a. Galactic Cirrus). The RGBHa data were sourced from my TSA120/ASI2600 set up and the luminance data from both my set up and from Niall's C14 Edge HD/Hyperstar/ASI6200. Full acquisition details can be found in the Astrobin post.

This has been an interesting project to try out a collaboration given that our respective system specifications lend themselves nicely to sharing data across projects. In this case it was particularly suitable given that a lot of signal is needed to bring out the faint nebulosity of the IFN.

I've been particularly interested in IFN/Galactic Cirrus and spent a little time looking into the the basic physics of the phenomena and have include a summary of this in my Astrobin post.
