Hi all - my rendition of the Fighting Dragons of Ara (including the Dragon's Egg NGC 6164/5).
This is probably my longest integration yet, about 7 hours in total.
Roughly 6 hours of that was through an Antlia 5nm Dual-Band filter presented as HOO and an hour of unfiltered OSC for the stars. Once again I used an AT65EDQ refractor which has a nice wide field and in-built flattener, (even if it's a bit slow at f6.5) and a ZWO 2600mc Pro. It was captured from my Sydney backyard under Bortle 7 skies.
I realise this is a very commonly imaged object but its only my second attempt at capturing it and my first using just an Ha filter + OSC was pretty underwhelming. It really does need the OIII for that contrast.

C & C welcome as always.
