[Astrofest] Antares, Rho Ophiuchi, and Blue Horsehead

Another from Astrofest taken with the 5DII and 135L. Without a doubt, the most colourful region in the night sky. Never imaged this area, always wanted to. It was the main target I was chasing this time at Astrofest.

Loving this 5DII and 135L combo. At first I wasn't liking the diffraction spikes, but I'm starting to forgive that considering the tightness of the stars across the full frame sensor. Only complaint is a very slight vignetting that I couldn't get rid of even with flats.
