Rho Ophiuchi Molecular Cloud

[DJT (David)]

I thought I would post this image acquired over the last few weeks.
It’s an area I really enjoy with so much going on.

Large here Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud

There’s a bit of a registration issue going on which I will fix when I acquire some Luminance.

Thanks for looking and apologies for the very compressed attachment. Original file size is over 510mb..gulp

Great effort David

I like the wide field and framing that includes the cluster NGC6121.

Plenty going on in the hi res, and kept me looking for a time...

Well done

[Alchemy (Clive)]

That’s a good one

Excellent shot David. One for the cool wall.

[Wilsil (Wilco)]

Great image indeed, well done.

Looks quite lovely in just straight RGB Dave, nice and any registration issue is pretty slight....in fact so slight I can't even see it...

beautiful ...all that integration time really brings out a lovely smoothness as well and depth and detail

woohoo, it's Rho Oph season! One of my favourite patches of sky. Lovely work, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful image
I'm not sure what L will bring to it - in any case it would look great on a wall just the way it is!

I missed this one! A gorgeous image Dave! Some Lum will just make it even better!

[Geoff45 (Geoff)]

Nice one Dave. I would probably push the saturation a bit, but others may disagree.

Never get tired of this region and you've captured it beautifully.

A terrific Rho there. Very good processing as well.
