The head of Scorpius - a photo on Flickriver

            A beautiful patch of the summer sky in the Northern hemisphere.  Over here we can find reflection, emission and dark nebulas.  A globular cluster (M4), Antares ("not Mars") and rho Ophiuchi (a double star) just add to the mix.

19 images at ISO 800, 3 min's, were stacked to give a total integration time of close to one hour.  Equipment used to take the photos was: a William Optics Star 71 travel scope mated to a Canon EOS Ra, mounted on a Vixen Sphinx SXW german equatorial mount.
