Dusty Ophiucus

Hi all, here is a small postcard from this fascinating wide field around the snake nebula:

This image cover almost the same FOV of plate 20 of the original Barnard Catalog and this whole area is full of dark nebulae. here is the link to the catalog chart: http://www.library.gatech.edu/Barnar...-cht020_sm.jpg)

As usual from Coonabarabran, RGB, only 30mins per channel (this image was done just as test but this field turned out to be quite pretty, so decided to process the image). Other tech data on the image

Hope you will like it
