The star Shaula (λ Sco)
Images
I snapped this picture not realizing it contained the very distinct and recognizable scorpion rising over Cape Foulweather next to the Otter Crest Lookout. The bright star in the scorpion is Antares, which is a marker for the Rho Ophiuchi complex.

On a night I spent taking photos from a bluff in Otter Rock, Oregon, I was surprised to see the Milky Way lurking above the city lights and behind the light pollution. A single frame captured enough to show it in this picture facing almost directly south looking down the coast and past Gull Rock and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
