Details:
The view to the central part of our Galaxy is truly spectacularly colorful, at least for cameras. Around the "heart" of Scorpius, the Antares star, are several types of interstellar nebulae, most of them surrounding star Rho of the Ophiuchus constellation in a very close neighborhood. Reddish nebulae are caused by the emission of hydrogen while bluish ones mostly contain dust scattering the light of stars close by. When to the central part of the Milky Way, more emission nebulae can be seen where new stars develop. This beautiful part of the visible close Universe colorfully filled in--viewing from Earth--our Moon on May 16 when floating deep in the Earth's shadow and scattering only faint reddish light of the Sun for 85 minutes. It looked like a red pearl above the Galaxy from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. or the foreground, Canon Ra and Sigma 50mm (f2.8, ISO 6400, 70x30s stacked for a panel of 8 segments of panorama) was used, tracked on Vixen Polarie U. To reveal the Rho Ophiuchi nebulae, I used Astronomik H-alpha and OIII narrowband filters as well, with Canon 6D modified and the same lens (and settings). I would like to acknowledge Tomáš Slovinský and Josef Kujal (of the Astronomy Society of Hradec Králové) for their deep support of this eclipse photography.
