Description

For years I have enjoyed dusty colorful images of the Rho Ophiuchi region, but never managed to capture it due its expansive field. Finally I've managed to capture it through a lens, and tick it off my bucket list. Such a wonderful part of the sky.

I struggled quite a bit with developing effective masks during the processing, but am reasonably happy with the result considering only 78 min of data.

Thanks for looking!
