A Dragon Strikes from the darkness NGC 6188

I finished this one on June 29th after what seemed like a couple months of dodging cloudy skies.

I held off posting as I decided to throw it in the ring for the 2020 David Malin Awards which closed on the 30th.....winners announced this afternoon on a Zoom presentation.
I won’t spoil the surprise by saying who won the Deep Sky section

So here it is, my Fighting Dragons of Ara in SHO.

I took approx 15 hours per channel for this one however only stacked the best 9-10 hours of each using DSS
O3/S2 were 10 minute exposures, Ha was 7.5 minutes (Astrodon filters)
Camera - ASI1600
WO FLT-132
Self tuned EQ-6
SGP for capture
PHD2 for guiding
Star tools for processing

All in all.....pretty happy with the result!
