Scorpius Globular Clusters

About this image

Beautiful to capture 2 globular clusters in the same 2° field, very close to Antares. Where my telescope is located, M4 reaches 33° above southern horizon when crossing meridian.

You can also see some of the nebulosity surrounding nearby Antares. You will appreciate the photo better in Hi-Res HERE
