*If you're not overly familiar with the constellations, the sky map will come in handy.

Scorpius has always been my favorite constellation, and Antares my favorite star.  :up:  Nothing like watching Scorpius sweep along the southern horizon during childhood summers in the flat and humid Midwest, or here and now in the dry dessert.  smile  It was one of the first major constellations I learned, aside from its rival -- Orion.
