The technical detail

I captured the data for this image with over 16 hours worth of five minute subs.  This unique take has been compiled into a HSS palate with only the Ha and Sii filters used. 

The Fighting Dragons of Ara is a colorful emission nebula located roughly 4,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Ara. Its dramatic appearance is what truly sets it apart.

Here's a breakdown of its key features:

  • Mythical Dragonscape: The nebula's most striking feature is its resemblance to two dragons facing off. Dark shapes with glowing edges weave through the cosmic dust, creating an image reminiscent of a legendary battle.
  • Stellar Nursery: NGC 6188 is an active star-forming region. Intense radiation and stellar winds from young, massive stars sculpt the nebula's shapes and energize the surrounding gas, causing it to glow brightly.
  • Immensity: Despite its intricate details, NGC 6188 is vast, measuring roughly 300 light-years across.
