Description

The Rho Ophiuchus Nebula is a wonderfully colorful piece of art in the sky. It has everything an astrophotographer would want; Globular clusters, reflection nebulae, HII regions, newborn stars, and incredible wispy and elegant formations of dust all in one area in the sky that a simple wide camera lens can capture. Not only does it have a reflection nebula, it has an incredible range of colors. From the blues of p Oph to the vibrant yellows of Antares, and even the whites of IC4603. This area in the sky is one of, if not the most colorful pieces the universe has to offer, and it's located only 300ly away from our very home.
