Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex above peaks of Kamnik–Savinja Alps, Slovenia
CATEGORY:
tracked / stacked / blend
GEAR:
Nikon Z6 Astromodfied
Tamron 85 SP 1.8
Sky Watcher Star Adventurer
Astronomik 12nm H-alpha clip in filter
FocusOnStars focusing filter
EXIF:
Sky: HA + RGB
H-alpha: stack of total exposure time: 26min, ISO 1600, 85mm, f1.8
RGB: stack of total exposure time: 17min, ISO 640, 85mm, f2.2
Landscape: two images pano, single image settings: ISO 640, 85mm f1.8, 90sec
One of my favourite objects in the summer night sky, which I was able to capture for the first time now, if we don't count stuff made with ultra wide angle lenses.
The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a complex of interstellar clouds with different nebulae, particularly dark nebulae which is centered 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi, which it among others extends to, of the constellation Ophiuchus. At an estimated distance of 131 ± 3 parsecs, it is one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System.
This was my first image I captured (but edited second - first one edited was a pano made with the same 85mm lens) when me and Uroš Fink hiked on top of Obel kamen. Since the moon was still up when astro-darkness started, I first captured the H-alpha signal and RGB immediately after.
