The image: The most colorful region of the Milky Way.
The area lies on the boundary of the constellations Ophiuchus and Scorpius.
The upper blue nebula and stars are the "Rho-Ophiuchus" component. The
yellow nebulosity surrounds the bright star Antares in Scorpius. This area
is very faint and not within the capability of the human eye, even through
telescopes. The nebulosity is a mix of gas and dust that is being
energized by the nearby stars which are at different stages of their stellar
evolution. This is my favorite composition in the night sky and I hope you
like the image. The image is a stack of two exposures of 70 minutes each
on Kodak E200 in 120 format film. The lens was an Astro-Physics refractor
of 600mm focal length and an f-ratio of f6. The camera was a Pentax 67.
The photograph was taken at New Mexico Skies Observatory.
The print: The print is made with Epson ultrachrome
inks on profiled Premium Luster Epson paper The print and mat board are
hand signed. The mat is a double mat with the object information on the
inside mat. The print and mat are hinge mounted to an acid free foam
core board and then packaged in a clear photographic bag. The foam core
board has the Jeff Ball seal of authenticity to ensure that
you have full access to the Jeff Ball guarantees. Prints larger than
16x20" framed will be in a limited edition and signed and numbered accordingly.

workmanship available today. Thanks for your interest and let me know if
