October Imaging Challenge (Db) - Rho Ophiucus

[iceman (Mike)]

Hi all.

We'd love you to take part in the October Imaging Challenge. Please post your images here.

Please ensure all images obey the posting guidelines when you attach them.

While it would be nice if the image was taken in the month of October, it's not essential so feel free to post older images if you're unable to take some new ones.

We look forward to seeing your contributions!

hi tony,
nice shot. a shorter exposure might have seperated A and B stars tho

viewed breifly last night thur my 8" dob and 15m SV EP. a/b, c and d form a triangle. A and B were just seperatable in the 15mm EP.

Well, knock me down with a feather! I thought it was a triplet!

Unfortunately, a shorter exposure would have shown zero nebulosity. Gee that stuff is faint!

Thanks for the info Ving. That gives me something else to try for next time.
