Who's looking down on us tonight?

[michaellxv (Michael)]

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

[M54 (Molly)]

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

[michaellxv (Michael)]

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.

[renormalised (Carl)]

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.
