Using this image as a starting point for a region. I hope to take more and better shots of the targets in this area. You can do a quick google search to see the potential captures here in the Antares/Rho Ophiuchi region.
This was taken with my Canon EOS Rebel SL2 and a telescopic lens. 20 x 2s exposures, f2.8, 160mm, 1600 ISO.
The largest yellow star is Antares of the Scorpius constellation, and the globular cluster to its right is M4. There's also a second globular cluster (much dimmer) above and in between these two; this is NGC 6144. The triplet in the top middle-right is the Rho Ophiuchi region. Lastly, in the top right corner is a smaller globular cluster, M80.
