The core of the Milky Way Galaxy with Rho Ophiuchi captured from home (SQM=18.8, Bortle 7) on 18MAY2020 just before Moonrise, with the bottom of the frame just above our roof.
63 stacked (untracked) exposures of 13s @f/2 ISO800 (13.6 minutes total exposure time), Nikon D600, Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4, Marumi Filter. No Darks & No Flats used. ACR lens corrections & then image stacked in Sequator & cropped.
I'd like to get a longer exposure for more Rho and MW colour next time without the scene getting too bright. I may have to dust off the mounts, but I'm happy with untracked (and its portability) none the less.
Best
