Details:
Antares and its blue companion star, Alpha Scorpii B. It is difficult to capture an image of the blue companion because the light from the primary star overexposes the images. To avoid this, I used a very fast shutter speed of 1/400 second. From my location, Antares only reaches 8 degrees above the horizon, so there were also challenges with seeing conditions.
