Description

Rho Ophiuco is a beatiful stars formation, and it's also my second pic in this new hobbie I have.

I took it in a night with waxing moon, so not the best of the scenarios, but since rain and cloudy nights were the daily situation, when I saw a clear sky I just had to try!

For this photo I used:
- Exposure: 70 x 1.5min, ISO 800
- Camera/Lens: Sony A6400 + 70/200 f4 (at 150mm)
- EQM 35 pro + guiding scope/camera
- Software: KStars/Ekos (guiding and tracking), DeepSkyStacker (stacking), NetStars and Photoshop (processing).
