Description

This time of the year, the beautiful Antares region of Rho Ophiuchi n Scorpious is about 22 degrees above the horizon before dawn here in New England.
This picture was taken with a rough polar alignment this morning at 4:30 am, just to capture the beautiful colors before the sun took over the horizon.  It doesn't check the boxes of astrophotography planning, but I believe  it does deliver what is out there!.
