On this page I collect my observations of the dwarf galaxy NGC
6822, called Barnard's Galaxy, in the constellation
Sagittarius.
Introduction
The dwarf galaxy NGC 6822, called Barnard's Galaxy,
in the constellation Sagittarius is according to Stoyan
faint and hard to see. This was in fact even with the eVscope the case.
But once, I was able to find a faint glow after post-processing...
Size: 10' x 7' (Stoyan)
Distance: 2 million light years (Stoyan)
