Rho Ophiuci Cloud ComplexIn astrophotography, the night sky is ruled by seasons. As the Earth revolves around the sun, the night time side of our planet points out to different sections of space. In the month of April, the night side of Earth begins to point towards the center of our galaxy, and the first object that signals the change of season rising in the east is Rho Ophiucu! This is a short 8hr exposure image I captured of rho from the observatory here in Texas. This

Here's me setting up in a cornfield with the Askar 103

This large image which covers several hundred times the size of the full moon provides context on how these different faint nebula interact with eachother

It wouldn't have happened without their guidance and inspiration

and so it remains a popular object of note for amateur images

because it does more to illustrate the interactions of many nebulae at once

The timezone here is GMT +2

It is ridiculously faint

The subtle contrast of darkness set against a black background requires pure darkness or immense time to capture well

the Carina Nebula is a fascinating and dynamic region of space that provides astronomers with a wealth of information about the processes that drive star formation and the evolution of galaxies

we can estimate its size to span 58 light-years (+/- 9% error)

and contains a mix of gas and dust
