A galaxy in the mist..

[marco (Marco Lorenzi)]

..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

Wow Marco! You're really good at revealing that Cirrus dust, incredible I got a hint of it in a very short exposure of this galaxy back in 2010 with the Starfire, but here in yours it's so obvious that it is verging on being a distraction

Great work Mate, that's a lot of exposure!! You are really taking advantage of your remote facility and the good weather at Conna huh?

It's great to see that little galaxy in a larger context. Explains a lot of things. Top vista as usual.

Hoovering up nicely there. Great image. Perhaps address that blue star halo top center (that is a bit distracting). Other than that lovely work.

Another beautiful image Marco. I wasn't aware there was so much flux nebula in that region.

Cheers

Terrific work Marco!I had plans of doing this same wide shot a year ago when I took a test shot that revealed all the IFN around.....you beat me to It.

Well done.

[John Hothersall]

Wow thats a busy area, cirrus stripes do stand out like others say.

John.

The amount of detail you have brought out is amazing.

Thanks.

Loving the zebra stripes Beautiful image Marco, stunning indeed.

Thanks for all nice comments mates, I have been out for a while and couldn't reply earlier! Dark skies are very important for these images, and Coona is a great location for that

Clear skies
