Description

This was done with completely backpacker portable setup from Bortle 4 location.
Rho Ophiuchi vicinity is an extremely colorful object. More so when a modified DSLR (or, of course, a dedicated) camera is used. This allows to show the Ha ionized red cloud in the right inferior corner which makes good contrast with the yellow reflection of Antares light by the central part of the nebula.
