Rho Oph "tyre tracks" running into the Milky Way

Hi,


Attached is the image I took a little earlier on 14th of June around 8pm. I thought the Rho Ophiuchi "tyre tracks" looked quite nice running into the core of the Milky Way. The red glow is quite evident and I think it adds to the image.

I experimented with software de-rotation and stacked three 30-second exposures of the sky in Meade Envisage. The result was reasonably better with more detail and nebulosity than a single exposure so I kept it. The ground part is a stack of seven 30-second exposures in Registax.

This is my first attempt at stacking the sky images so please point out the mistakes.

P.S. I love "Led Zeppelin"

Cheers,
Alex
