Rho Opiuchi Region


I'm used in seeing red in nebula. So the colorful image of the Rho Opiuchi region is something I'm not at home with. Even this was my second try at this region, there's still something unfamiliar. The colors were off, framing was even off and the imager (me!)was obviously off. I struggled with my autoguiding when I took this image. As expected, processing was also challenging. I really wished I had everything prepared then. But, this was the only object visible that night of seemingly endless clouds. So, "carpe diem". Seize the day, err.. night!
