Description

Since I did a wider view of NGC6188 with my small Zenithstar 61, I started to think about doing the 'Egg' in in a closer approach.
My Omegon 6" RC arrived on February, and I was waiting a good opportunity, then, to try this target with it, once it started to show up in a more appropriate time to accumulate at lease 4h of signal.
The RC did a great job, and the honest SV220 Duo fought against the heavy light polluted B8 skyies from my city.
Honestly, I would prefer to collect at least 10h on this target, but unfortunately, the first night, I took images with the wrong filter, and even thoug the overall result was good, I discarded because there was no OIII signal to be added in the outer faint nebula.
