Description

My first try at Rho Ophiuchi! My son and I traveled 2,024 miles by car over three days from Tampa Florida to image from a Bortle 1 sky during this new moon...
Thankfully, the skies were clear and we were able to get some data on this beautiful target with our Redcat 51 and ASI2600MM-Pro on the Sky-watcher AZ-EQ5-pro mount. This is 3.9 hours of LRGB over two nights. Stacked and combined in Astro Pixel Processor and slight adjustment in Lightroom. I couldn't be happier with the Bortle 1 data... it was worth the effort for this target alone.
