Description

The Rho Ophiuchi complex in Scorpius is one of my very favorite targets in the night sky, and certainly my favorite in the summer sky.  However, it’s also been one of the most elusive targets to process well. But with the advent of Blur xTerminator for deconvolution..  This version of the target was made in Death Valley, California, in the summer of 2021.  It sat as a mediocre image until today when I re-processed it w/ BXT…. 


This was shot on a Nikon D750a and represents about 75, 60s frames - no filters, on a Star Adventurer portable mount.
