Description

"The region of Rho Ophiuchi is one of the most extraordinary in the sky. The nebula itself is a beautiful object. With its outlying connections and the dark spot in which it is placed and the vacant lanes running to the east from it, it makes a picture almost unequaled in interest in the entire heavens."

--E.E. Barnard, A Photographic Atlas of Select Regions of the Milky Way (1927)

First trip to a dark site in about 6 months! I've been wanting to image this colorful area since I began AP. With the lens stopped to f/2.8, I captured 100 x 120" frames but lost 30 of them to some passing clouds. For most of this the 27% moon was rising off to the east. For only 2 hours and some moon I am pleased with this!
