Description

Rho Ophiuchi Star Cloud

The colorful star-forming region Rho Ophiuchi lies at a distance of 427 light-years from us. The star cloud is a combination of emission and reflection nebulae as well as dark nebulae.

The object is quite difficult to photograph in our latitudes, because the very large star cloud is often located in the light pollution of urban areas.
