Thar be Dragons...

With the moon pretty much full, broadband colour images really don't cut it, but using narrowband filters like Hydrogen Alpha (Ha) isn't an issue.

NGC 6188 - The Rim Nebula in Ha. But I prefer it's other name - The Dragons of Ara. I will add colour to this one in a week or two, once the moon isn't so prominent. Saving hard for a couple of other narrowband filters to allow me to bring some explosive colour, even during the full moon.

ZWO ASI294MM Pro
Saxon 102mm ED triplet + 0.8 reducer/flattener
AZ-EQ5 Pro
18 x 10 minutes, total of 3 hours (so far)

Stacked with DSS & processed in Photoshop while waiting for tonight's other target to get done (a couple of hours to go yet)

Cheers,
Mark
