THE FIGHTING DRAGONS OF ARA

- Constellation Ara the Altar
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.
