Scorpius has woken and opened an eye. Go out and say hello.

Maybe someone who knows what they are doing could get a decent shot for me :rolleyes:

I assume that is Antares?
What is the little fuzzy bit off to the bottom right? Is that a reflection or something else?:question:

There's a big smudge/reflection bottom center. Bottom right I think I have picked up M7 now that I look closer.

It's the moon sitting in the head of Scopius. Yes, Antares is just on the edge of the halo.

It's an internal reflection in your scope from the moon light. There's another one closer into the Moon, if you look closely. Along the same optical path as the other one.
