Description:

NGC 6822, Barnard's Galaxy is one of our Milky Way Galaxy's closest Local Group neighbors at 1.6 million light years. As a bonus NGC6818 The Little Gem planetary is in the same field of view. What the Little Gem lacks in size it makes up for in surface brightness in contrast to the large but faint galaxy.
