[LVAS] Observer's Challenge

[roger ivester]

Rob,
 
Re: Small Scope Objects.
 
I am hopeful that I can work on the two selected objects within the next week...weather permitting. NGC-6822 has always been of special interest to me.   
 
As I have mentioned before, NGC-6822, also known as Barnard's Galaxy has eluded me for the past twenty years. My problems have been related to poor southern skies from my backyard and for some reason my trips to dark sites did not include this object. I just can't figure.  

 

I think Fred saw NGC-6822 last month? There seems to be very few amateurs that have actually observed this galaxy.

 

WSH mentions NGC-6822 as one of his favorites, but I can't seem to find any of his notes concerning.
