Fighting Dragons Of Ara Panorama NGC6188

After my last accidental panorama I thought I should at lest attempt a proper panorama.

The unlikely match

this is a two shot vertical panorama of the whole area around the Dragon's as well. I did this as I was able to shoot two whole nights in a row one night each panel some 61 shots each 10 min. this was mostly edited in PIxInsight stitched with PTGui that I have used for years to do all the milky way bows put the two photos together straight up. as you can see have been able to over come the filter colour in this shot.

The story goes these Dragons are fighting over the egg below NGC6164

It is a degree of patience getting all the parts together then see it all take shape as you had hoped. I still pinch myself each time.

Steve Paxton replied to Herb Riddle:

you know I understand you comment this is quite a capture very spectacular part of the sky. I always wanted to shot these as more landscape so we get to feel they are real. my vision of an island of light in the middle of black worked as I had hoped many thanks.
