Description

My final target of the night is the Ophiuci nebula (IC 4604) along with a smaller reflection nebula on the right (IC 4603).  I would have liked to capture the entire multi-colored Rho Ophiuchi complex, but did not bring my 180mm lens.  Interestingly, the image turned out to be dominated more by the various dark nebulae.

RGB: 20x120s each
