One of my favourite objects to photograph is the night sky. This image took more than 2 hours of integration & a few hours to process. The Rho Ophiuchi Cloud or Rho Ophiuchi Nebula is a dark cloud about 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi in the constellation of the Serpent Bearer. At a distance of 131 ± 3 parsecs (427 light-years), this cloud is one of the closest star-forming regions.
