Description

Star forming region with nebulosity that looks like fighting dragons in the constellation Ara. It is about 600 light years across and 4000 light years away. Such an interesting object to image and so many ways to be creative in processing. This image was captured using a dual band filter for the Ha and OIII components and an SII filter for an SHO image using a OSC camera. This is the same image as https://www.astrobin.com/mf5oi0/ but with SII added.
