THE FIGHTING DRAGONS OF ARA
- NGC6188, Edge Nebula
- Deep sky 1000mm LRGBHOO
- Constellation Ara the Altar

Last week I already show you the fighting dragons of Ara, back then I edited an acquired image set at 1500mm focal length. Today I show this wonderful nebula again, but this time with pictures I took via remote telescope in Australia. With a focal length of 762mm you can now see the dragons in all their glory :-) Developed as a LRGBHSO version in blue/orange - I hope you like it! Happy Pentecost weekend to you all!

The colors in NGC 6188 are due to the presence of various chemical elements in the gas, such as hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. The energetic radiation from the young stars in this beautiful nebula excites these elements and causes them to glow with different colors. This creates an impressive visual spectacle.
NGC 6188, or the Edge Nebula, is a large H-II region in the constellation of Ara, located in the southern hemisphere. It is a vibrant and colorful assemblage of gas and dust, made to glow by intense radiation from young, hot stars. The H-II region is approximately 4,000 light-years from Earth and spans an area of about 200 light-years. It is part of a larger star-forming region that also includes open star cluster NGC 6193. The energetic radiation from the young stars causes the surrounding gas to become ionized, resulting in the characteristic glowing clouds and filaments. A stunning example of how new stars are formed and how gas and dust interact in the Universe. Exploring NGC 6188 and similar H-II regions is helping to deepen our understanding of star formation and galaxy evolution.

New processing of the dragons. At a focal length of 762mm you can see the dragons in all their splendor 🙂 Edited as LRGBHSO version in blue/orange - I hope you like it!
The colors in NGC 6188 are caused by the presence of various chemical elements in the gas, such as hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur. The energetic radiation from the young stars in this beautiful nebula excites these elements and makes them glow in different colors. This creates an impressive visual spectacle.
NGC 6188, or Edge Nebula, is a large H-II region in the constellation Ara, located in the southern hemisphere. It is a vivid and colorful collection of gas and dust that is stimulated to glow by the intense radiation of young, hot stars. The H-II region is about 4,000 light years away from Earth and covers an area of about 200 light years. It is part of a larger star-forming region that also contains the open star cluster NGC 6193. The high-energy radiation from the young stars causes the surrounding gas to ionize, resulting in the characteristic luminous clouds and filaments. This is an impressive example of how the formation of new stars and the interaction of gas and dust take place in the universe. The study of NGC 6188 and similar H-II regions helps to deepen our understanding of star formation and the evolution of galaxies.

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.
