460 light-years away.. the Molecolar clouds around Rho Ophiuchi

I could not wait to make the stack and a first processing even by the poor resolution of the notebook. It was an object that I always wanted to do, but because of the low on the horizon and resulting light pollution high, it is difficult to shoot well. Palombaggia such provisions be made with the help of Valentina, and the support of Rino, and the night before with the French friends and Mathew and Tibo, it was possible to take the photo in all its majesty (for us who live in the northern hemisphere)

 

edit v.2 : color balance and gradient fix at home pc :)

 

edit v.3 - apply my new personal workflow on processing that reduce noise, and that's the result :)
