Rho Ophiuchi Molecular Cloud

[DJT]

I thought I would post this image acquired over the last few weeks.
It’s an area I really enjoy with so much going on.

Large here Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud (https://astrob.in/full/dp9lk2/0/)

There’s a bit of a registration issue going on which I will fix when I acquire some Luminance.

Thanks for looking and apologies for the very compressed attachment. Original file size is over 510mb..gulp

Great effort David

I like the wide field and framing that includes the cluster NGC6121.

Plenty going on in the hi res, and kept me looking for a time...

Well done :thumbsup:

Looks quite lovely in just straight RGB Dave, nice and any registration issue is pretty slight....in fact so slight I can't even see it...:question:

beautiful ...all that integration time really brings out a lovely smoothness as well and depth and detail

Beautiful image:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I'm not sure what L will bring to it - in any case it would look great on a wall just the way it is!

Nice one Dave. I would probably push the saturation a bit, but others may disagree.
