Superb Rho Ophiuchi, like the dust there.

M20 came out also great; nice color.

Yeah i thought it came out ok for being taken from town. The baader LRGB filters do work well for a LP sky. Also having a mono camera and being able to focus for each colour with a camera lens makes a huge improvement to stars and detail.

These images are truly stunning on their own. And I must admit, at first, I didn't belive you when I saw the equipment used (and I mean that in a very respectful way).

It's really inspirational to see what can be achieved with modest equipment and skillful hands, great work!

I 2nd Toms opinion, some more color in Rho Oph and you'll have an image of highest class.

From what location did you shoot these?

Regards

Jonas
