Barnards Galaxy

Hi all, this is one from last night of Barnards Galaxy. At first I thought I had stuffed it up and not imaged it at all as I am not familiar with this irregular galaxy, but when I checked it against some web images I realised I had actually captured it. I would have taken more exposures had I realised sooner.
I am definitely going to revisit this galaxy and capture the RGB as well as that will bring out the young blue stars.

The image was taken with the DSI II Pro with an Astronomiks IR/UV filter at f/3.3 on the LX200R.

The images were a combination of 65 exposures at 21.2 seconds taken with Envisage and combined in MaximDL.

Cheers
