A menacing cloud of gas and dust looms in the southern constellation of Ara, seemingly depicting a scene of two dragons fighting above a glowing egg. This is NGC 6188, an emission nebula also known as the Rim Nebula, and NGC 6164, a bipolar nebula. This image was shot in Ha, as clouds came in during Oiii data acquisition.

 

Captured in Singapore under class 8 skies.
