The Scorpion's stinger is comprised of Shaula and Lesath (lambda and upsilon Scorpii). These stars point the way to magnificent Ptolemy's Open Cluster (M7).
Just 3° to the NW is the Butterfly Cluster (M6). Binoculars will show you these clusters, along with all the dark nebulae snaking around this region!
