How to find Scorpio with astronomical telescope

It is best to look at the constellation directly with the naked eye, or use low-power binoculars. However, the market for astronomical telescopes is usually not high, and they are only suitable for observing a single celestial target.

Scorpio is a constellation near the ecliptic, with many bright stars. It is not difficult to find it.

In summer, when you look at the southern sky around 9 pm, you will find a bright red star, which is the alpha star of Scorpio (Antares). On the right side of this star, there will be three stars lined up, which is the head of the scorpion. There will be two bright stars very close to the lower left of the red bright star, which is the scorpion's tail. ?

If the weather is good and the light damage is small, and you have an astronomical telescope. Don't miss Scorpio's rich deep space objects when observing;

M7 (Ptolemy Cluster)
