- Description: Irregular galaxy NGC6822 in Sagittarius, also known as Barnard's
Galaxy. It shines at mag 9.3 which sounds bright, but the light is spread over an area of
16 x 14 arc minutes. This, plus the fact that it is fairly low to the south makes this a
bit of a challenge to pick up in the eyepiece from anywhere but a good, dark site. It is
also located in a fairly star-rich area.

- Film: hypered Kodak tech-pan print film
- Scope: 8" f6 Newtonian
