Rho Ophiuchi Wide Field
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap100524.html
Rho Ophiuchi is a binary star system in Ophiuchus, but it has a nearby cloud complex that is one of closest star-forming regions to us. Antares and the globular cluster M4 are visible in this picture, along with the notable red emission nebula and Blue Horsehead Nebula. To the top-left is Sharpless 1, yet another reflection nebula. Throughout the image are dark dust lanes.
