Description

NGC6164 and NGC6165 is a bipolar emission nebula located in Ara just near the famous Dragons of Ara (Rim Nebula, NGC6188), and is commonly called the Dragons Egg.  

This took a lot of patience over several weeks of acquisition due to bad weather, mount issues, scope issues and mistakes in acquisition before I had enough data to make a plausible effort on this object.
