Description

The Dragons of Ara (aka the Rim Nebula) is a spectacular nebula in the southern skies.
This is a 3-panel mosaic imaged during small gaps in the clouds over a month, from Bortle 6 skies in Australia.
The original image is 63 megapixels (10600x6000) but the image here is a quarter of that.

Each channel was captured as 40x5 minute subs, for a total of 30 hours of integration time (10 per panel)
