This composition perfectly
frames some spectacular targets in the vicinity of Antares and
M4. Note the beautiful orange and blue suns highlighting M4.
Just left of center is the fainter globular cluster NGC6144 which
records more blues. The Antares Nebula is the huge yellow cloud
on the left side, and is one of the few yellow reflection nebulas
in the entire sky. At the top left, a trio of blue suns lights
the same dust cloud blue in IC4605. Finally, the gorgeous Sharpless
2-9 on the upper right is a hydrogen cloud illumiated by the
hot super giant Sigma Scorpii.
