Sigma Scorpii and Sharpless 009

Many of you have seen images of the Rho Ophiuchus region. The colorful red region above M4 is this Sharpless object - SH2-009. The energizing star is the Magnitude 2.9 Sigma Scorpii. I made a close up image of just this object (well if you want to call 84 minute FOV a close up). Image as well as exposure and processing details are here:

The scope was my Megrez II 80 mm APOGrade; Camera was my Artemis285

This was a short subject (even for me!) Ha:R:G:B - 35:6:6:6

I've been lurking here for a while and thought this was a reasonable time to chime in. Jim, this shot, and all your shots have a great unique look with your special Artemis285 camera. Unlike anybody elses work and always dead on guided and processed. I wondered what that area looks like close up after I finished this "plain jane" Rho Ophiuchus. Vivitar series1 135mm lens at f2.8 on a sbig st2000xcm on a meade lxd75 mount, 4x15 minutes.
Am I not supposed to put a picture in your thread? Sorry if I screwed that up.
Thanks

Nice, Jim!

You have quite a knack for pulling a lot of information out of your "short subjects!"
