Rho Ophiuchi and blue Horsehead nebula with comet

This rich and colorful region shows incredible saturation and detail.

Blue and yellow reflection nebulae reflect the colors of the bright nearby stars.

IC 4592 2 panel mosaic. This was challenging to put together, and I left in some background color. Light view emphasizes millions of stars in field.

Dark dust clouds together with bright reflection nebulae make a colorful scene.
