That is a very nice image John. Barnard's Galaxy is a very faint object and you have done well to grab it so distinctly.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments.

Was a set of long exposures but was worth the effort, Getting NGC 6818 was a bonus, I was pleased with the mount performance and the pinpoint stars. Barnard's Galaxy was only faintly visible at the eyepiece when I composed the shot.

Thanks
