Description

NGC6188 is an emission nebula located over 4000 light years from earth, in the constellation of Ara. Sometimes called the Fighting Dragons or Ara, very young stellar giants have formed from the dust and gas of this nebula.

Astrofckup: due to stacking artifacts I had to crop out half of the dragon's egg (NGC6164) although I was happy to capture part of it's outer "shockwave" of cloud.
