The Fighting Dragons of Ara - Starless

[CRTAstro]

I shot this about a year ago using my previous setup (refractor + OSC). One of my best efforts so far so I thought I would share it here

presenting a starless version of NGC 6188 The Fighting Dragons of Ara

This almost borders on the abstract ithout the stars. Pretty rich colors.

Love it Carlos! I enjoy these without the stars. I guess I have processed some of mine both ways, but there are times where I think starless is best as it let's us see the details of the object better. The stars can add a nice touch, but they also can be really distracting at times. For this, I am glad you did a starless version.

Thanks Jim ! I agree with you 100%

Such a cool area of the sky - have I mentioned yet how much we all would love a crack at those southern sky objects!? The starless treatment does accentuate some nice details in this object.
