The Creation of the Cosmos: Tribute to Michelangelo - NGC 6188

[Adam_Jesion]

This object in my color palette remarkably resembles the legendary work of Michelangelo - The Creation of Adam. In honor of this cosmic similarity, I named it similarly - The Creation of the Cosmos
The NGC 6188 is fantastic - probably one of my favorites. I hope you will like my interpretation. I am open to criticism.
 
Equipment: ASI1600MM-C with Baader Narrowband FIlters (8h total exp), WO APO71Q f4.9 telescope, iOptron CEM25EC paralactic mount. Location – village without civilization somewhere in the middle of South Africa.
Thanks for your feedback guys.

Hehe, thanks man  Next picture will be related to Salvador Dali (considered). Do you have an idea, what should it be (object name)?

[AstroAndy]

I will just quietly admire this stunning image without any criticism.  Give me a tiny village w/out any civilization over a city anyday. Well done, Adam. -Andy-

Brilliant, I'm waiting for the Lowry version. Lol

[Knighty2112]

MyCn18 might fit the bill for some Dali inspiration with some melting watches!

That's a really beautiful and colourful image - it's a piece of art!

Seriously dramatic scene. Great work.

[Shibby]

Quite an introduction! Superb image.

Excellent image.

I expect a Rembrandt in the not too distant future. ?

Amazing image Adam! I like it a lot!

However, I am not so sure about the title. Being a scientist I am a bit allergic to the word "creation" and in any case the structures in that image is just a few million years old - so about 14 billion years after the big bang (or whatever "created" the universe), so a bit too late even for a creation?. But as I say an amazing image!

Well, it's one of the regions where stars are "created" so perhaps we can forgive

[AndrewG]

Nice!

In the meantime, I have made a new version. The major difference is the new detail in the center (CDK17 halpha added as a luminance channel). I believe that the new version looks significantly crisper. What do you think?

Good point, but... From a scientific perspective, you are right, but there are still romanticism and allegories besides science ?
