Identification, please
I took this pic on 24 Feb when I went out to photograph Comet Lulin. I just rotated the camer 180 and took some 'field' shots - this one is the end of Scorpius and the surrounding stars. Let the camera do the length. What is the cluster lower centre? Is it a recognised grouping or just a clutch of stars that happen to appear to be together?
