A galaxy in the mist..

..and I believe this is a very appropriate title for this little one, an irregular galaxy in the constellation of Sagittarius known as Barnard's Galaxy

NGC 6822

Often seen at higher imaging scale and quite interesting for her intense HII activity, in my image I tried to get a different perspective giving evidence to the intricate network of high altitude galactic dust clouds that permeate the area. Thanks to the quite long luminance it ended out a not so difficult task

I hope you will like it, as usual the max resolution view is recommended.
Ha (410m) L (620m) R (160m) G (120m) B (170m) with my usual setup

Clear skies
