Scorpius Rising at Rattlesnake Lake by Don McCrady

Via Flickr:

Scorpius rises over the mountains near Rattlesnake Lake, WA. Rho Ophiucus and its colourful nebula comples are visible, as is the faint smear of globular cluster M4 right beside Antares, and the vast molecular clounds of the Saggitarius Milky Way are on the left edge of the image.

20 minutes total exposure with a Canon 6D and 24-70mm lens (at 70mm), mounted on a Polarie tracker.

This image shows Jupiter’s south pole, as seen by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). The oval features are cyclones, up to 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) in diameter.
