Rho Ophiuchi

My image of the Rho Ophiuchi taken with my Rokinon 135MM Prime lens at f/2. The lens was mounted on my 1300D DSLR Canon camera, the camera was mounted on my star adventure 2i pro tracking mount. Settings were 45s and 800ISO. I took 120 images, 30 flat frames and 20 dark frames. All were stacked in Sequator, edited in Siril and finished off in gimp 2.10 using star reduction. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov  mask to focus on a bright star. The image was taken under Bortle 3 skies in Gower.
