Arguably the most colourful part of the Milky Way and a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other galaxies Rho Ophiuchi is a yearly favourite target.
Taken last week during a few nights of clear skies.
HaLRGB image. QHY600 and AP130 GT with Quad TCC F4.5. PME mount at my home observatory in Kurrajong NSW.
Lovely detail, something not often seen because its usually shot with a wider FOV, but there’s a reason it’s usually shot with a wider FOV.

Thanks David. Yeah I'll be doing another version with the CFF 105 for a wider view.

Just a 'rittle bit more all around and it would be a killer image.
As is.....you are simply missing the full harbour view.
Point taken. I plan on doing it with the CFF and get the wider view. I was concentrating on leaving space for the red area. Its hard to see where the pieces end on shorter framing subs.

Thanks JA. I think I'll do a wider version next and then plan a mosaic with this setup afterwards.
Love this target! I'm yet to do it. You have set the bar. A fantastic shot.
Thanks Paul.

Thanks Jonathan. I wanted to highlight the red nebula area.

Thanks George. Yes the gear when its all setup well does make life easier but its surprising how you still need to attend to it, adjust something, download a new driver, repair something.
