Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex (Too cloudy for new data!)
Re-processed 2.3 hours of old data taken a while ago, RGB only, 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at 200mm, some at f/2.8, some at f/4, some at 720 seconds, some down to 120 seconds. I was experimenting with trying to HDR the stars a bit but this time I just lumped all the different exposures into APP with auto integrate, mostly it did pretty well but there is some nasty artifacts around the brightest stars. I really need a lot more data to get this cleanly I think, but mostly pretty happy with how APP did this. D810A, Celestron CGEM II mount, PHD2 guiding, APT camera control. Photoshop for final editing.
