NGC 6188 Fighting Dragons of Ara

I know I’ve said this before but this may be my best photo to date. NGC 6188 is a massive nebula whose edges are rarely in frame but the Celestron RASA 8″ field of view really captured the outer waves of hydrogen spectacularly. This is a Southern Hemisphere target and certainly one of the most photogenic regions we have. The ‘dragons’ common name is fitting I think as it feels like it could be on the cover of a fantasy novel, and probably timely with the current last few episodes of ‘Game of Thrones’ airing right now!

I highly encourage you to check out the high resolution version on a big monitor if you can.

Technical details :

  • Celestron RASA 8″ / ZWO 1600mm
  • 40 x 60s Hydrogen Alpha
  • 20 x 120s Sulphur II
  • 20 x 120s Oxygen III
  • Combined as HaOHS
  • Total integration time : 2 hours.
