✨135mm Milky Way Mosaic ✨

I’ve been working on this project for a while and it’s definitely the most challenging post processing I’ve encountered. Controlling the gradients is a beast. Hope to reshoot this whole thing before summer is over and try again and with Ha data.

Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex and friends. Rho is one of my favorite objects in the Milky Way. At 400 light years away it is one of the closest star forming regions. Trying some new thing at different focal lengths.

Plate solved this in pixinsight and used the annotate plugin to label some different objects in this image.

This shows the context of the Milky Way of what I captured. Hope you enjoy!

Milk Way from the local spot here in Alabama. Great night with .w.adamsphoto here with good conditions and a lot of green airglow.
