Dragon Heart

Mono pic #2. This one is in close to the heart of NGC6188 Fighting Dragons - the EdgeHD captured lots of detail. It’s SHO with ~10hrs total integration but will be collecting more Oiii. I tried to give this image a darker look and make the dust/gas clouds look like rain clouds on an overcast day without drowning the background in Oiii blue-green. I'm happy with where this image is heading and thought I'd share it with you. Cheers, Alex

EdgeHD 8" with 0.7 R, ASI294MM, Optolong SHO
S: 75 x 180s
H: 76 x 180s
O: 53 x 180s
Stacked in APP, edited in PI, finished in PS.

Oh, tweaking the SCT's collimation was painful but worthwhile.
