Description

Second try at posting this as the first was lost when the astrobin db was restored.

This is a 2 frame mosaic which uses Astro Pixel Processor to stack and create the mosaic and Startools to do the rest. As with the single frame Rho Ophiuchi, I have problems with halos around brighter stars. This image was also stretched more aggressively to bring out the nebulosity in the head of the Scorpio. 85x180s at f/2.
