Aquired while camping under a palm tree 15 feet from the ocean in FL at the Shired Island. I clamped my 6D onto my telescope and managed to just squeeze in the Lagoon to Rho Ophiuchi in the composition. No foreground because the target is Lagoon Nebula, Dark Horse and Rho Ophiuchi.
Canon 6D no modded
EF 50mm f/1.8 @ f/4
8 x 60s @ ISO 1600 stacked and tracked

Very nice - but a little bit of foreground may help make this a little stronger
many thanks for the comment. Very true, especially as the vast majority of people are not used to only seeing the sky in an image, so it probably seems odd (unconsciously). But as a deep sky imager I rarely have anything in the foreground!
