IM_33850_Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex
The Rho Ophiuchus Cloud Complex is a nebula found in the constellation Ophiuchus just to the right of the core of the Milky Way. This large cloud of dust and gas surrounds its brightest star, Antares. It's made up of 2 star forming regions that stretch a distance of about 460 light years and has approximately 3x the mass of our sun in gases.
I was able to capture the yellows, browns, and blues, but a unmodified DSLR camera has an infrared filter in front of the sensor that mutes the red colors that are present in the area.
