Description

NGC 6164 is a small bipolar 6.7 magnitude emission nebula (1.0 x 0.3 arcmin) of about 4 light-years across that lies cca 4,200 light-years away in the southern constellation of Norma. It is approaching us at approximately 53.9 kilometers per second.

Clouds came in strong so imaging interrupted.

Although using an OSC, will capture some UHC (O3) and Ha data in an attempt to bring out more of the nebula surroundings.
