Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex

On 05/09/2024 by Tom Sorensen| Golden Spike National Historical Park, Utah

This popular area of the milky way core is sprawling with different nebulae. Perhaps the reason this area is so iconic is because of the contrast of the dark nebulae blocking the light of the emission nebulae.

Camera: Sony A6000 - Astro Modified
Lens/Telescope: TPO 180 f/4.5
Mount: ZWO AM5 with guiding
No filter

Just over three hours of 4 minute exposures stacked together using Deep Sky Stacker.
The final image was edited using photoshop, starnet++ (to bring out the nebulosity), and GraXpert (to remove gradient).
