Antares / Rho Ophiuchi Region

[JimFox]

While going through my archives from last year I came across this data for the Antares Region that I hadn't processed yet. So my archiving work came to a halt as I spent 2 or 3 hours working on this.

SkyGuider Pro - Tracking
Nikon D850
Tamron 150-600mm @ 150mm f5.6 ISO 800
10 - Lights 120secs
10 - Darks
20 - Bias
0 - Flats

This one only had 10 light images. I don't remember now why it only has 10, as that's pretty minimal time. I did also capture it with an hours worth of data. I had stacked it but never processed that, so I will have to process that later.

All comments area welcome,

Jim

Very pretty object. Seems a bit busy or noisy, do you usually reduce the stars?

I have to agree with Ben - this one seems noisy compared to most of the star shots you have posted. Definitely colorful in any case.

You will have to put your noise blinders on to view this one Ben.

I thought it was a bit noisy too, but then I thought maybe I was being too picky. So thanks for picking up on that. When I get to Colorado I will see about doing the one that has more images in it stacked, that should decrease the noise a lot.

Thanks Alan! You will have to wear ear plugs I guess to view this?
