RCW 108 Dragons of Ara
With bright-edged dark shapes that are tens of light-years long in the southern constellation Ara. In the lower right, NGC 6164 (the Dragon's Egg) has been created by one of the region's massive O-type stars.
The second image is from just over two months ago from CHI-6-CCD. (More has changed than just the camera :) )
