Description

First serious attempt at any part Rho Ophiuchi nebula. Its a lot fainter than I realized. Even at a dark sky site, it was a little hard to pull out of 20 minutes worth of data on my 16".

The actual procedure here was: 3s x 100 frames live stacked images x 4 = 4 images with 5 minutes total exposure on each. Then I stacked these 4 images in DeepSkyStacker 4.1 and did final adjustment in GIMP. Total integration time was 20 minutes.
