Antares, Antares Nebula and M4 - May 2023
My third close up image into the "Rho Ophiuchus" complex I imaged back in June 2022 (www.flickr.com/photos/128581947@N05/52177053088/in/dateta...).
This image contains the globular clusters M4 and NGC6144 with star Antares (Alpha Scorpii) surrounded by nebulosity it illuminates. This region is in the constellation Scorpius.
This image was exposed with a QHY268M through a simple doublet 80mm refractor (at 500mm focal length) over one whole night, 27-28 May 2023.
The total integration time was 11 hours and 36 minutes of subs, 72 subs of 300 second for Luminance, and 60 x 60 second subs for the red channel, 60 x 120 second subs for the green channel and 52 x 180 second subs for the blue channel.
