Description

One of the benefits of early morning walks with my dog is seeing a very cool sky. I actually saw this the previous morning (1/15/19) and knew if it was clear this morning (1/16/19) it would be there. It was clear and Ruthie and I were prepared. I have a wall of trees on the east side of my yard so I carried my tripod and camera on the dog walk until we got to a clear spot over looking a neighbors house. Venus (brightest planet) and Jupiter (lower left) dominate the left side of the image while the stars of Scorpius dominate the right side. Antares is the brightest star of Scorpius and is in the lower right side. An unexpected object was the Crab Globular Cluster, M4, located just right of Antares - if you look closely.
