Scorpius entrance, stage left

[Kanadalainen]

Not my best work at all, too much exposure, too much time (30 sec), too much star trail. Astronomical dark doesn't come easily at this time of the year.

Oh well, its to show Scorpius rising up out of the east. I'm excited as this is an action-packed constellation.

Here is a slightly better shot, later in the evening. Jupiter is up and chasing Antares, lower left.

Thanks for looking,

10-4 on Scorpius Michael. I am also excited. I was there for a bit last week, giving it a try, but the sky was not cooperating very well.
Clear skies to you.

Looks good to me! What lens and ISO setting did you use?

Andrey, I used a Rokinon 10mm f2.8, 800 ISO (pretty calm I know), stopped down to f3.3.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Thanks.. its a bear for any of us ~ 50*.. real middle of the night hunting. Full naps required.

Full Naps. Check. :-)

Took me a minute to recognise it - rising at such a different orientation makes it look weird to me.

Thanks for posting.
