Scorpius and Ophiuchus

June 17th, 2006
I added another picture I had taken yesterday to the page of sky photos. This time, I used Gimp a little to enhance the stars and darken the skyglow. Antares now looks reddish-yellow. Scorpius is low where I live and in binoculars, Anteres is a boiling mass of changing colors. I have yet to be able to observe M4 in Scorpius.

The smeared bright object on the lower left of the photo is Jupiter.
