Description

A one night image with with the Rokinon 135 and 294 MC pro. I usually have the 294 MM with filter wheel attached to the rokinon, but I currently have the 294 MM with 9.25 chasing small targets (much improved recently with a tri bahtinov mask). 

I originally planned to take an image of the western tail of RHO Ophiuchus complex and saw this dark target in the sky atlas. Hope everyone enjoys the dust and beauty of the Milk Way Center between the RHO complex and the Lagon nebula.
