NGC 6188 Nebula (RCW 108) and NGC 6193 Star Cluster
in Norma.
This is an image I created recently of the vast nebulae complex NGC 6188 in the southern constellation of Norma. The entire nebula covers a massive area of the sky more than 3° wide. The bright star, at top centre, is SAO 227049 (Visual Magnitude 5.6) located near the centre of the star cluster.
