Colorful Nebulae around Antares and Ophiuchus
Certainly one of the prettiest areas of the night sky, complete with blue reflection nebulae, red emission nebulae, dark light-blocking nebulae, and uncommon yellow reflection nebulae around the great star Antares. Also hanging about are multiple Globular Clusters, each home to 10's of thousands of stars.
Unfortunately, at 46 degrees latitude this area barely sweeps to an acceptable height in the sky for only a couple hours a night for a few short months a year. Make hay while Antares shines!
This is a 2-panel mosaic - 20 x 1 minute on each panel.
