Hi,
I was cruising around Scorpius with my 15x70's on a p-gram mount and found that I could just fit Antares, M4, and the triple star Rho Oph in the FOV. It looked so good I made this sketch.

Thanks, folks--it was a very good night and the Scorp/Sag/Oph region is filled with fine sights (as is the Summer Triangle area).
Definitely try sketching--it's a great way to sharpen your observing skills. Be sure to visit the Sketching Forum--loads of tips and info there as well as some outstanding drawings.
