Description

FINALLY I was able to shoot the Rho Ophiuchi region, after years of wanting to!  I had a near-perfect evening (for my location), with good seeing and transparency.  I mounted my modified D5300 camera upside-down on an ADM D-series Losmandy dovetail plate, put a guide scope on the top of the plate, attached it to my CGX mount (a bit of overkill) and spent the next few hours getting more and more excited as I saw the images appear on the computer screen!  I hope you like it!
