Region Around Antares

Pleased to get anything at all on this from the UK as it's fairly low down on the horizon (-26 degrees declination).

The bright star is Antares in Scorpius, the main red nebula is IC4606 and the small blue IC4605. The small star cluster is NGC6144

Beautiful. For some reason it's my favourite star, maybe because of balmy summer nights observing in shirt sleeves.

Lovely pic. Antares is my favourite 'winter' star.
