Rho Ophiuchus

This field would have to be one of the most beautiful in the whole night sky and is the field I have wanted to do since getting the FSQ106 .

Right in the heart of Scorpius, the majestic mix of colours, caused by various atomic and physical processes, produce a veritable Kaleidoscope view for the eye to feast on

To really see the superb field this scope and camera provide HERE (choose Original size) is the unadulterated full frame full res image

Hope you enjoy

Mike
PS. First time I have ever directly imaged this area, in 37 years of astrophotography and imaging...nice to have finally got there
