Two globular clusters in the Rho Ophiuchus Complex
Colour version of the Rho Ophiuchus complex in Scorpio. 8 x 5 minute luminosity subs with 5 x 3 minutes for red/green/blue. Combined together and post-processed in PixInsight and PS.
Orange supergiant Antares is just off-centre.
Small globular cluster NGC 6144 is at 11pm to Antares just obscured by the dust cloud.
