While shooting the Milky Way in Algonquin Park, I took the opprtunity to put a longer lens on my camera and shoot other things to see in the night sky. The system of stars located in the upper right portion of the photo is known as the Rho Ophiuchi. It is imbedded in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, a nebula of gas and dust. The yellow star is Antares, a supergiant star, and the fifteenth brightest star seen from earth. The blue stars are classified as subgiants.
The brightest light in this photo is Jupiter. Over the next few nights the distance between Jupiter and Earth will be approximately 80% of the average distance, making Jupiter the second brightest planet in the sky next to Venus.
