Description

A very interesting area of the sky, the Rho Ophiuchi (of-ee-yoo-kahy) cloud complex is an area with emission nebula, dark nebula, a nearby globular cluster, and more. It's been hard to get a picture of due to low altitude, obstructions, light pollution, etc. I hope to get more data on this object next year, hopefully framing more and using my monochrome camera. This was shot with a color camera with a small sensor.

Description: Added more RGB from the dark site and dropped the Ha in processing. I don't think I have nearly enough narrowband and it is just adding more problems than it was worth. Also didn't drizzle this time.

Description: Huh, sometimes when you think it's pushed too far it isn't. Just a black point adjustment with slight push on midtones.
