Description

Awaiting for the night fall on a summer night at the astonishing plateau (1600m) of Campos de Hernan Perea, one of the most unpolluted skies in Spain, I was gifted with this incredible wiew;

this is like a hand tryng to catch the Scorpius' tail.

Note the open clusters M7 (Ptolomeus) and M6 (Butterfly)
