NGC6188 - Dragons of Ara

A quick test from last night on NGC6188.


This is my first attempt at mono with a new scope, new camera, and first attempt at processing using PixInsight.


Askar 65PHQ + ASI533MM Pro + 3nm SHO filters.



Sii: 28x300s.

Ha: 30x300s.

Oiii: 44x300s.


Dither and drizzle for all filters.



Used the Foraxx Palette Utility script following Polyman Astro's video: How I Improved My Narrowband Workflow in 2023: A Breakdown of My Process - YouTube.


If I had to re-shoot, would look at improving the composition. Even this is a crop of the original image as it had way too much empty/negative space in the upper left corner.



Couple of zoomed parts of the final image also attached.


Impressed by the difference of quality of the mono sensor compared to OSC.
