NGC 6188 narrowband

Here is my interpretation of the region in Ara surrounding NGC 6188.
There are many fascinating shapes and details in this region. I'm
still new at narrowband and I am still trying to get a hang of the
color scheme. I'm pleased to see the outer shell of NGC 6164-5 which is rarely seen.

That's a pretty dramatic image Tom. Nicely done. I think despite any perceived shortcomings you think you have on narrowband imaging and processing, you appear to be climbing the learning curve rapidly.

Yet another stunning image. Those blue shock like waves to the right are interesting.

Terrific shot, Tom! Is "the outer shell of NGC 6164-5" the object to the lower left? Very nice!

Great shot. I think you got the color balance just right.
