My Take On Antares Rho Ophiuchus and the Blue Horse Head

[nebulosity.]

Antares, Rho Ophiuchus, and the Blue Horse Head. Imaged last night, 18x600 second subs, Canon 1100D at ISO 400, 85mm lens at 5.6

My best rendition so far, pretty happy with it, check out the larger version on Astrobin. (http://astrob.in/93239/0/)

Very nice, Jo. I hadn't realised the Blue Horsehead was so close to Rho!

Yeah, 10 minute subs are great! The camera is unmodified. :D

I have recently gotten StarTools and have been reprocessing some of my images and I thought that this one came out a lot better than the original.

See the link to the repro Here. (http://astrob.in/93239/B/)

Yes, lovely shot, gorgeous colours and dust patterns. You must have your polar alignment down pat!

Mighty fine renditions there Jo, the repro is much more energenic, I kinda like the stars in the 1st and the neb energy in the 2nd, Top Stuff :thumbsup:

really nice work Jo - retains a "realistic" appearance

Nice work! Very natural look. Love the aperture blade spikes around Antares. Did really well with the reds for an unmodded cam! The blue horse head came up well too. Love this part of the sky :)
