Description

The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex!

April clouds aren't giving up so I'm back to reprocessing data again. This area of sky is the forerunner of Milky Way season for astronomers, and what a sight it is!

This colourful region has it all. Star clusters, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, cosmic dust, binary and subgiant stars and probably more.

I shot this with a 51mm RedCat and an ASI2600MC camera under Bortle 3/4 conditions. Processed in APP and Photoshop.
I hope you enjoy it.

Clear Skies!
