Description

This capture shows one of most beautiful regions in the sky, the one showing the blue horse (IC4592 and IC4601) and part of the Rho Ophiuchi region. The tremendous amount of dust and gaz reflecting light from the blue stars nearby, plus small areas of emissions turns this region in a true cosmic canvas.

This image is madeup by the following stackup:

Luminance: 25 x 480 sec bin 1x1

RG: 15 x 300 sec bin 1x1

B: 15 x 480 sec bin 1x1

Pre-processing and post-procesing: Pixinsight

Bias, flats and darks applied.

**REV.2** In order to stand out the Blue Horse, the frame has been rotated by 90 degrees and the stars made smaller.
