I am an amature astronomer interested in astrophotography. Also I am a Volunteer at the Perth Observatory WA. PS My name is Neil Armstrong.

Discover the Dragons of Ara (NGC 6188), a stunning 300-light-year star nursery where cosmic forces create new stars.

NGC6188, Rim Nebula in Starless HSS - Ha mapped to Red, SII mapped to Green and Blue. Taken from my backyard dome over the last 3 nights. I recently saw this mapping done while I was searching Astrobin, so I thought I would give it a go.

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, but I’ve been working on a project.
After 65 hours of integration, my largest and longest astro image to date is finally complete. This is a 4-panel mosaic of the Fighting Dragons of Ara 🐉🔥

The fighting Dragons of Ara (NGC6188 and NGC6193), together with the dragon's egg.
I had some time and reworked on 2023 data.

NGC6188, an emission nebula in the constellation Ara. I've 6188 on many occasions - best result so far. Pretty thrilled.

Planewave 20" CDK w FLI-Proline-16803 sensor, Siding Springs, Australia, multiple ten minute exposures.

Colour processing by me. No, it doesn't actually look this bright.

Good night 😴friends at #Bluesky💙-

I'm going to dream now --- until tomorrow👋

To follow on from yesterday's post. I give you NGC6188. It's starless version in Hubble SHO palette.
Anyone like to guess as to which mythical creatures can be seen fighting here?

I was processing the nebula NGC6188 or the Firebird Nebula and I thought this starless view was pretty impressive.
