Hi,

Finally some clear skies!
Seeing was fair with some drifting cirrus, still the best for a while.
I've been planning this image of NGC 6188 and 6164 for some time, particularly to have 6164 in the field.
NGC 6164 is an emission nebula, looks remarkably like a planetary.
Think it's time to save some pennies and upgrade the coma corrector so I can get good stars to the edge of the field.

Equipment.

8" Newtonian astrograph f/4. on HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader coma corrector, cooler box.

27 x 8 minute subs, darks and flat frames applied.

Median stack in DSS, processed in PS7.

Cheers,

Justin.
