Description

This image shows the beautiful and colourful region around Antares, the brightest star in the constellation skorpio. I was able to collect the data during my stay at Hakos in May. I am surprised that so many details can be seen despite the short exposure time.
The region is also very interesting from an astrophysical point of view as many protostars are formed deep in the molecular clouds. The nebula is about 427 light-years from Earth.
