Comments:  This image was shot over two different nights. After shooting at f/10 and having reasonable results I decided to add more images at f/6.3. The two sets were processed independently and then combined for the final image. NGC6822 was discovered by E.E. Barnard in 1884. It is an irregular member galaxy of the local group.
