NGC 6188 in NB

Recommended Posts

This is my 2nd all NB image

NGC 6188 is an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away in the constellation Ara. The bright open cluster NGC 6193, visible to the naked eye, is responsible for a region of reflection nebulosity within NGC 6188. NGC 6188 is a star forming nebula, and is sculpted by the massive, young stars that have recently formed there.

NGC 6164 also created by one of the region's massive O-type stars. Similar in appearance to many planetary nebulae, NGC 6164's striking, symmetric gaseous shroud and faint halo surround its bright central star near the bottom edge.
This view spans about 5 Full moons.

Wow, superb capture, guess your skies are a bit better than mine at the moment, yet another massive storm last night, that must be about 35 this month and almost as many inches of rain, it's like living in the tropics.
