Description

The constellations of Scorpius and Ophiuchus offer so many stunning colors. The bright Milky Way with its striking red hydrogen nebulae. The blue reflection nebula, as well as yellow and red emission nebulae around the star Antares. The blue Horsehead Nebula. The nameless, large red nebula on the left, and again and again veils of dark dust clouds. Of course there are also countless stars, but they only come out when you zoom in. My panoramic image is a mosaic of 3 x 3 panels, 42° x 27° in size, here compressed from its original size of 150 Megapixel.
