The START of Rho-Ophiuchi

Decided to go against the grain and NOT do Rho-Ophiuchi wide field, but deep instead. It needs, errrr, a few hours I didn't think it was THAT dark

So, may end up being a mosaic, or just the arched dark neb as shown here. This is only 30 miniutes of target with the 102 refractor - she's gonna need a lot more photons yet Jim! I stretched it as far as possible (I think it was 10 or so stretches before it even showed much colour!) for the paltry 30 mins, but she's still pixellated and noisey.

Tonight is good, so at it again.

EDIT: the linked image is the same as the most recent, put here to compare directly: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...e.php?a=137667
