Edited Spitzer Space Telescope image of the region around Rho Ophiuchi, showing lots of nebulae and stars. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Called "Rho Oph" by astronomers, it's one of the closest star-forming regions to our own solar system. Located near the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus, the nebula is about 407 light years away from Earth.
Rho Oph is a complex made up of a large main cloud of molecular hydrogen, a key molecule allowing new stars to form from cold cosmic gas, with two long streamers trailing off in different directions. Recent studies using the latest X-ray and infrared observations reveal more than 300 young stellar objects within the large central cloud. Their median age is only 300,000 years, very young compared to some of the universe's oldest stars, which are more than 12 billion years old.
This false-color image of Rho Oph's main cloud, Lynds 1688, was created with data from Spitzer's infrared array camera, which has the highest spatial resolution of Spitzer's three imaging instruments, and its multiband imaging photometer, best for detecting cooler
materials. Blue represents 3.6-micron light; green shows light of 8 microns; and red is 24-micron light. The multiple wavelengths reveal different aspects of the dust surrounding and between the embedded stars, yielding information about the stars and their birthplace.
The colors in this image reflect the relative temperatures and evolutionary states of the various stars. The youngest stars are surrounded by dusty disks of gas from which they, and their potential planetary systems, are forming. These young disk systems show up as red in this image. Some of these young stellar objects are surrounded by their own compact nebulae. More evolved stars, which have shed their natal material, are blue.

The colourful Rho Ophiuchi star formation region, about 400 light-years from Earth, contains very cold (around -250 degrees Celsius), dense clouds of cosmic gas and dust, in which new stars are being born. The clouds are mostly made of hydrogen, but contain traces of other chemicals, and are prime targets for astronomers hunting for molecules in space. Astronomers using the APEX telescope to observe this region discovered hydrogen peroxide molecules in interstellar space for the first time, in the area marked with the red circle. This is also a rich region for amateur observations. Rho Ophiuchi itself is the bright star near the top of the image. The bright yellowish star in the bottom left is Antares, one of the brightest stars in the sky. Below and to Antares’ right is the globular cluster Messier 4. This image of the region was obtained from the Paranal Observatory by observing with a 10-cm Takahashi FSQ106Ed f/3.6 telescope and a SBIG STL CCD camera, using a NJP160 mount. Images were collected through three different filters (B, V and R) and then stitched together. It was originally created as part of ESO’s Gigagalaxy Zoom project.

This goes down as good and bad. The good is that I was able to capture it. The bad is that the difference between the features and light pollution is so little that even with 87 subframes, there is still a lot of noise.
Realistically this needs to be shot further south and in a darker sky.
I may still be able to gather more frames and add, but I'm concerned that Saturn's movement relative to the rest of the stars will cause problems stacking.
Imagine a moonless night. The light of the milky way and stars is so strong that you don't need flashlights to get around.

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!

Edited European Southern Observatory/Hubble Space Telescope image of the hamburger-shaped star 2MASS J16281370-2431391.
Original caption: The young star 2MASS J16281370-2431391 lies in the spectacular Rho Ophiuchi star formation region, about 400 light-years from Earth. It is surrounded by a disc of gas and dust - such discs are called protoplanetary discs as they are the early stages in the creation of planetary systems. This particular disc is seen nearly edge-on, and its appearance in visible light pictures has led to its being nicknamed the Flying Saucer. This close-up infrared view of the Flying Saucer comes from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
如果說獵戶座是冬天的代表星座，天蠍座就是相對應的夏天星座。特別是心宿二附近色彩豐富，暱稱為星空調色盤。
連續三個月，初一沒月光的夜晚都因為天氣不好煞羽而歸。缺少練習，結果就是生疏。這張只是135mm焦距而已，卻因為種種原因，只捕捉到50分鐘的光子... 留個紀錄，讓我還有理由再拍一次! 再練練吧!

Actually, my battery died before I could shoot darks. All of that red hair running through the image disappears when you subtract shots at the same settings with the lens cap on. The purple stars are due to not having a UV filter in place. oops. 100% crop, 15X180sec, 70mm with a 70-200mm@f2.8
