Description

NGC 6188 the Dragons of Ara and NGC 6164 a bipolar emission nebula on the lower right. Have been wanting to revisit this target again since shooting it about the same time last year and surprisingly winning the Astrofest 2021 Best Deep Space Object prize for it. This was taken over 3 nights during the last full moon phase and the recent prescribed burns and also as a first light target for the Sharpstar 61EDPH-II Triplet Reftractor. Shot 20 x 600s each of Ha,O3 and S2 filter data for a total of 10hrs integration time.
