I found AAIC gave me a 2nd wind. I have a lot of images I haven't released yet. Some with the CDK17. These generally take a lot more processsing than the ones from the TEC110 which are easy.

A literature search for scientific papers since 1975 reveals that next to nothing is known about the origin and evolution and future of this vast H-alpha emitting shell, despite its extreme prominence in the southern Milky Way and despite the fact that the candidate energizing objects (NGC 6231, Scorpius OB1 association, plus the consequent core-collapse supernovae) seem to be obviously visible.

Here is the entire shell (in centre of image) from the SuperCOSMOS H-alpha survey.

Fantastic Robert. I noticed this area doing my Ha of the Milky Way that there was a lot of Ha near NGC6188, which is here:
