Rho Ophiuchi

This is an image part of the constellation Scorpius. It shows the bright yellow star Antares and Scorpius Head area with the colourful Rho Ophiuchi nebulosity field.

 

I took this image straight after I photographed the milkyway arch over Mt Ruapehu in my previous upload.

 

This image is a stack of 5 photos taken with my 105mm Sigma lens. Tracked for 60 secs each. ISO 3200, F/4. Stacked in Sequator and some PP in Affinity Photo.

 

The inset at the top left shows where you can find Rho Ophiuchi in the sky with reference to the brightest part (the core) of our galaxy.

 

If you are in an area dark enough you can see this constellation with your naked eye.
