Description

This region of the Milky Way doesn't get as much attention as some others but it contains plenty of interesting objects. At Top left you can see the Prawn Nebula and surrounds and at bottom right part of the NGC 6188 complex.

I rushed the framing on this as cloud was coming in and I was busy trying to set up my other mount at the same time. I did plan to include all of the NGC 6188 region & didn't quite manage it but it's still a nice part of the Milky Way.
