Description

The Antares Region/Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex is one of the most colorful areas of the night sky and lies within my most favorite constellation, the scorpius. I don't think I need to write much about this object. On the internet and here on Astrobin you can find countless photos of this region and now there's another one from me. It was a wonderful experience to take photos under the Bortle2/3 sky of Tijarafe, La Palma. 

I hope you enjoy this photo and please feel free to leave any comments below.
