Description

Detail of the clouds and darks around Rho Ophiuchus. Image taken from the 1 Click Data set, using CHI-1 telescope. LRGB images 2/2/2/2 of 600" each. The region is a nice balance of bright and dark clouds. These are blue supergiant stars (Wikipedia), the central star is at least a double, as is seen in the SIMAD data base.
