Golden Dragons (Fighting Dragons of Ara NGC6188)

A closer look into the Dragons of Ara, hoping to get more detail up close this time. had a go back in Apr 2020 right after Australia went into lock down but only managed just under 6hrs total in Ha and Oiii. A year later and after months of cloud and rain due the La Nina, here we are and I now have enough data to complete a HOO render with another 10hrs added to it. All taken from my bortle 6 backyard in Brssie, QLD, Australiia.

Here are my 'Golden Dragons of Ara'

Hope you enjoy it!

2020 - 40x5m Ha, 30x5m Oiii (over 3 nights) at -20c, Uniy Gain

2021 - 60x5m Ha, 60x5m Oiii (over 3 nights) at -10c, Unity Gain

Description: Revised version to fixup some of the noise and also the ringing artefacts around the stars from the earlier version. So much to learn, the hours spent on processing is almost just as long as the acquisition itself and more but I am really enjoying the working on the finer details, so inspired by the many awesome images from our fellow members here. Clear Skies!!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
