Description

My very first image once I got everything set up. I'm planning on redoing this image at a later point in time.

NGC 6188 is an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away. The bright open cluster NGC 6193, visible to the naked eye, is responsible for a region of reflection nebulosity within NGC 6188.

NGC 6188 is a star forming nebula, and is sculpted by the massive, young stars that have recently formed there – some are only a few million years old. This spark of formation was probably caused when the last batch of stars went supernova.
