NGC6822 Barnard's Galaxy with mixed data

I've been trying to redo this one but the monsoon weather pattern has not been cooperating. I was able to get some RGB data with the 10" mak newt but I haven't been able to get the Ha or Clear data due to nightly thunderstorms. So, in the spirit of impatience, I combined the RGB data from the mak newt and from my prior AP image with the Ha/clear AP data taken last year to get this LRGB. I'm not completely happy with the image but until the clouds bug out it will have to do. Still, it shows the bar nicely and the one arm. This is one dim galaxy that could use twice the exposure time I've given it.

The image specs are something like:

(LHa)RGB (180,180):100:100:100 minutes

Best,
Tom

Great work Thomas ! really nice shot and a very difficult target needing lots of exposure time as I found out the other night.

Great shot Thomas!
You might NOT be happy with it, but I am! 8)

There are some pretty interesting objects around it too... very cool!


Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tom,

That's a great image of an unusual object. I think it came out really well.

That is a very nice image ) Very nice color saturation and all kinds of interesting objects around it. Thanks for sharing
