NGC 6188 and many other objects in the constellation of Ara

This vast nebula complex stretches over 8 full moon diameters in the night sky. The field of view of this composition is approximately 5.2° x 3.9°.

This Hubble palette image is a sister to my previous posts of the Great Nebula in Carina; it was processed using a similar workflow.

I am guessing that many of the same constructive comments apply to this image. It is reminiscent of an oil painting.

Technical Details:

Borg 55 mm f/3.6 astrograph, Astrodon 3-nm SII, Ha, and OII filters, QSI 683wsg camera. Mount: EQ8. Imaged from suburban Sydney.
