Messier 4 widefield region

A very rich and colorful area in Scorpius.
In the middle we see the red nebula Sharpless 9.
There are 2 globular clusters - Messier 4 at bottom left and NGC 6144 just above it.
The Orange glow at upper left are the clouds surrounding the red giant Antares which is just left of the frame.
Several LDN dark nebulae can be seen at upper right.

Imaged with Takahashi FSQ-106 scope.
Orion Starshoot pro 2 color camera.
Total of 70 minutes
