@alexandroschalooupka (instagram) took this awesome image of Rho Ophiuchi with the Star Adventurer.Alex says:Two nights at Paralia Potami here in Evvoia and one clear night was a great opportunity to capture Rho Ophiuchi1 hour and 6 minutes total light frames and 10 darksTracked with Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer.90" shots stacked with deep sky stacker edited with photoshop ccCanon EOS R5Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro LThe Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is one of the most colorful areas of the night sky and a favorite target for astrophotographers. The photo above shows a portion of the Rho Ophiuchi region, which, in its entirety, stretches 4.5 degrees by 6.5 degrees across the dome of the sky. For reference, the width of the full moon is 1/2 degree. The star Rho Ophiuchi is just out of frame in this image. Across the border from Ophiuchus in the constellation Scorpius, the star Antares shines brightly as a yellow jewel from 550 light-years away. The magnificent globular cluster at top is M4, which is one of the nearest globular clusters to Earth at 7,000 light-years away. The smaller globular cluster between Antares and M4 is named NGC 6144 and is a whopping 33,000 light-years away.Antares, the brightest star in Scorpius, is nearing the end of its life cycle. The star is beginning to puff off layers of gas, creating its own funeral shroud. To the unaided eye, Antares looks more red than yellow, which is how it earned its name. Antares is considered a rival of reddish Mars, known as Ares in Greek, and Antares was the "Anti-Ares" star.

@willeadesphotography took this awesome shot! ✨He says:I spent an hour scrambling around steep rock faces in the freezing dark to try and find a decent composition. I had nearly given up when I climbed down into this fantastic gully and saw everything line up. Apart from the way it framed the sky, it also had a super comfortable rock ledge to sit on for the next 2hrs of shooting. Really happy with how the image turned out and we even jagged a shooting star 💫Captured Saturday night on the east coast of Australia with the Nikon Z7 + Z 14-24 f/2.8.Sky: 60s, f/2.8, ISO 3200Foreground: 120s, f/2.8, ISO6400Star Adventurer Tag us and or use #skywatcheraustralia for a chance to be featured.
