Hi Enrique, after looking at other larger images on Google ,
One seen here.
http://dg-imaging.astrodon.com/_img/pages/image/NGC6164WebCrop.jpg

You will see that it is possibly just the direction we are looking at the material in the nebula,
If you look you will see other bow wave looking features within the nebula.
Very nice image by the way
Cheers :thumbsup:
