Description

With great southern sky in Croatia, I finally got a decent change to shoot this area (long overdue). This is Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex in Scorpio with Antares, about 360 light years from Earth. Shot with ASI071, through Samyang 135 lens. You can also see the M4 globular cluster to the right of Antares. However, M4 lies far beyond the colorful cloud complex, at a distance of some 7,000 light-years from Earth.
