The view south just after 1am
30 seconds at f4
ISO 100
19-35 @ 35mm
I believe the bright star at the bottom may be Spica in Scorpio.

I'm pretty sure main constellation in the picture center is Ophiuchus. The bright "Red" star at picture left just above the house is Antares in Scorpius.

Antares of coiurse, not Spica! What was I thinking! (I'm a little rusty astronomy wise)
