This image features NGC 6188, or commonly dubbed as the Fighting Dragons of Ara. Instead of reiterating the same story over and over, I have decided to process it from a totally different angle and therefore convey another chaotic and yet full of hope tale. The way the frame is posted makes me reminder a surge of black energy emaneting from the bottom to the top !

NGC 6188 is quite a festival of young blue stars, hot red gas, and cool dark dust as depicted on the picture.

A big thank you to DeepSkyWest for the data provided !

Please feel to comment.

Warm regards,
Aygen

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
