Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex

Last one for the evening.
I didn't have any success last night with this lens, a Tamron 180mm Prime, while it was on the 20D. So I swapped back to the Canon 550D and voila. Live View is AWESOME!!
I wasn't guiding, (there's trailing of the stars if you look closely) so I stuck to 2 minute subs. And who would have thought it, all the colours that the 20D denied me, just popped out.
I shot at ISO800 and F4.5.
I've processed with very very tired eyes so the colour balance may be a little skewiff.


Higher res version here.
