Caldwell 57

Caldwell 57 is a dwarf irregular galaxy located in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Edward Emerson Barnard in 1884, and is commonly known as Barnard's Galaxy. The galaxy is a member of the Local group. It spans a true diameter of roughly 7,000 light-years, making it considerably smaller than the Milky Way. C57 contains several bright HII regions and star-forming nebulae visible in narrowband imaging. The Hubble Space Telescope photographed these individual nebulae and they carry a Hubble naming sequence.
