Dragons of Ara (NGC6193)

Back in June of 2022 we had a string of clear nights over Oamaru, New Zealand, and I was able to train my telescope on this southern target, which is relatively challenging to process. I'm quite new at this, so any tips would be welcome!

Quite impressive amount of detail and textures in this image. Nicely done.

Wow!!!!!!! That's what I said out loud when I saw this James! For us in the Northern hemisphere this is one we can only dream of! I think you did this really proud. I like the depth you got in this, it's almost 3D.

You would be hard pressed to find a more dramatic target and you have done it justice. I am of course not familiar with imaging it myself, but it does look maybe a little darl in a few areas, perhaps still some faint nebulosity to be recovered? There is also some green in the palette that could be tweaked with if you wish to play more with the palette mix. A crackin' good shot though in any case, really lovely work.
