Default ASTRO: Barnard 330

Barnard 330/LDN 647 is a dark nebula in Aquila. There is virtually
nothing on it that I could find in the literature. While determining
the distance to such nebula is difficult and has a wide error margin I
found not even one attempt to give it a distance. One source put
typical dark nebula in Aquila at about 1000 light-years. I have no idea
if this might apply to this dark nebula however. NED lists one heavily
obscured galaxy in the image. I didn't make an annotated image for one
very faint smudge of a galaxy. NED had little on it but its position.
It is 2MASX J19194212+0721408 which gives its position for those who
just have to find it.
