Description

Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex photographed under bortle 3 zone dark sky. This was the first time for me to be photographing under such dark skies with only minimal light pollution in the swiss alps! I decided to go for the beautiful wide field object #rhoophiuchi in the constellation of scorpius! It's such a rich part of the night sky with plenty of nebulosity, colorful stars (#antares) and even multiple globular clusters
