Description

The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a dark nebula of gas and dust that is located 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi of the constellation Ophiuchus. Antares is the bright yellow star, σ Scorpii the red star, and M4 the globular cluster in between.

This is my first time capturing this target so there's a lot of room for improvement but I'm so proud of achieving this after a lot of reading.

Can't wait to see the progress in few years 🙂 Constructive criticism is always welcome!!
