Description

Every year at this time I like to image this Nebula Complex... highlighted by Antares, the region is an impressive spectacle of glowing gas, dark flowing rivers of thick interstellar dust.

IC 4603 IC 4605, IC 4606 (nebulosity around Antares) dark nebula Barnard 42, 44 & 45

M4 & NGC 6144 ...just to name a few.
