Description

This shot of the Rho Ophiuchi complex was shot at the Westport Astronomical Society on May 20, 2020. The shot was captured using an Olympus OM-D E1 Mark 2 using an M.Zuiko 40-150mm (80-300 in 35mm equiv) set to 90mm (180mm 35mm eqv). The shots were acquired using a Celestron German Equatorial Mount w/o a guiding camera or computer guiding. The images were stacked and processed in PixInsight and finished in Photoshop. Also pictured in this frame are Antares (the heart of the Scorpion - a yellow giant), M4 - a globular cluster to the right of Antares, as well as many clouds of reflected light of sulfur (yellow) and oxygen (blue).
