Rho Ophiuchi-Antares Region Wide Field
Rho Ophiuchi-Antares Region Wide Field: To cover an even wider field of view than in the Rho Ophiuchi-Antares region mosaic which I put together some time ago, this image was taken with a 135 mm photo lens. The vista which emerges then is spectacular as now the wonderful dark nebulae in their full extent can be observed.
This is for my taste and also for aesthetic standards I think the most picturesque part of the sky!
