Description

This is the Rho Ophiuchi Nebula area, IC4603, IC4604, and surrounds. Taken with the TS71SDQ f6,3 Quad APO. The area is a combination of reflection nebula and some emission nebula associated with Antares Nebula to the right of this image. The bright star in the upper right is Al Niyat.

The image consists of 100 x 60sec subs taken with my Nikon D5300, along with the necessary Dark and Bias Frames. Data from this area always seems very thin and significant numbers of subs are required to bring out the finer detail. Processed in DSS and Photoshop CC.
