NGC_6188 a closer look

This region nicknamed also "The battle of the dragons" OR " hands of GOD" is an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away in the constellation Ara.
The bright open cluster NGC 6193, visible to the naked eye (in the blue part of the image...), is responsible for a region of reflection nebulosity (WIKI)

Although I imaged it several times before - I couldn't resist using the 16" F8 Hypergraph to zoom in on it and reveal the delicate details in the nebula structure.
