About the target:
A 9 Panel mosaic shot in Marathon Texas at the Marathon Motel & RV Park during the new moon in June over the course of 4 nights. Some of the most beautiful colors in our galaxy are found in Scorpius around the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex and I was happy to finally catch their photons on my telescope!
