This image represents first light from my dual UltraCat 108 setup at Observatorio El Sauce in Chile. The Fighting Dragons of Ara, NGC 6188, is an emission nebula 4,000 light years from Earth in the Ara constellation. Radiation from giant nearby stars has shaped the dark tendrils of the Dragons, which are tens of light years long.
