Description

The Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex is a really interesting area with reflection nebula, dark nebula, and emission nebula with a globular cluster thrown in for fun.  It is a low southern target from where I live and I've wanted to get a wider field of this object since I imaged it last year.  I finally got an opportunity this week.  Clouds parted, moon is not blaring, but it was 2 weekday nights at a dark site as my back yard is north facing.  At least I got to sleep if a bit cramped in the back of the car!
