This image of the various nebula surrounding Antares and the Rho Ophiocus
region was taken at 100mm f4.8 from near Natural Bridges National Monument
in central Utah. The SQM of the location was 21.89, among the darkest
skies in the continental USA. Jupiter is the bright object on the left. Antares is the orange star toward bottom right. Given this was my first attempt at
DSLR imaging with a 100mm lens I am quite pleased with the result.
