Sigma Scorpii

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Here's something a bit different.
A very difficult target with a DSLR. This is 2hr and 30min of exposure time, and it was like pulling teeth trying to tease some detail out of it.
it's 735 light years away and I'm complaining about the amount of detail. We're a funny lot aren't we.
Taken with a Canon 20D modded through an ED80.
