No, Antares is not in this photo, but it would have been about an hour after this photo was taken. ;-) It just sounded like a cool name! But that is DEFINITLY the Moon rising back there!
I had my camera out today for a few reasons. First off, I headed downtown with another photographer to point out some good places to do a portrait shoot and get the Dallas Skyline in the background. So I thought I would keep it out and do a little light painting tonight while I was at it. Still don't feel very creative with Light Painting right now, but I have some ideas so maybe that will help spark some more creativity soon. :-) Not to mention that I have been crazy busy for several months on some other projects, but some of those are winding down a bit... a little anyway.
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va.--NASA commercial space partner Orbital Sciences Corporation launched its Antares rocket at 5 p.m. EDT, Sunday, April 21, from the new Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Pad-0A at the agency's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The completed flight paves the way for a demonstration mission by Orbital to resupply the space station later this year. (NASA/Terry Zaperach)

Kablooie. The water tower to the right is 307 feet tall, and is the tallest in the Western Hemisphere or the world, depending on the source.

Lift off the Antares rocket from the Wallops FLight facitlity at 5:00pm EDT. The Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket is seen as it launches from Pad-0A of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, Sunday, April 21, 2013. The test launch marked the first flight of Antares and the first rocket launch from Pad-0A. The Antares rocket delivered the equivalent mass of a spacecraft, a so-called mass simulated payload, into Earth's orbit.

I dug up the RAW frames from three different 50mm Scorpius shoots and stacked them together to see what I'd get. Total exposition time is 32 minutes.
The two bright, orange "stars" in this image are the planet Mars (right) and the star Antares (Alpha Scorpii). The Roman god Mars was known as Ares to the Greek. Antares is a Greek name, meaning "counterpart of Ares" (Anti-Ares), as the star appears to the eye very similar to the planet, having a nearly the same brightness and color.
In reality, Mars is a compareably small planet (with about half the diameter of the Earth), whereas Antares is a red supergiant star: If one would put Antares in the center of our solar system, the orbits of the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars would lie inside the star!

The supergiant star Antares and the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is one of the most vibrant and colorful nebulas in space and the closest star-forming region to the solar system. Located approximately 460 light-years away from Earth, the interstellar clouds of gas and dust that make up Rho Ophiuchi contain emission nebulas that are rich with red, glowing hydrogen gas and blue reflection nebulas that reflect starlight from their surroundings. The dark-brown regions in the cloud complex consist of interstellar dust grains that prevent any light from passing through.

Attention: Due to the overwhelmingly positive response we've had to our photo stream we’re having to pare down the amount of archived material we leave open to the public to make it easier for our valued guests to locate new images… As the “group photos” garner the most attention and appear most popular we’ll endeavor to keep access to these priceless pictures open for at least two months. Many kind thanks, Earth & Sky team.

Antares rocket carries the Cygnus Spacecraft into orbit for a resupply mission to the International Space Station.
An Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket is seen on launch Pad-0A at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Tuesday, January 7, 2014 in advance of a planned Wednesday, Jan. 8th, 1:32 p.m. EST launch, Wallops Island, VA. The Antares will launch a Cygnus spacecraft on a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. The Orbital-1 mission is Orbital Sciences' first contracted cargo delivery flight to the space station for NASA. Among the cargo aboard Cygnus set to launch to the space station are science experiments, crew provisions, spare parts and other hardware. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)

The payload fairing is installed on the Orbital Sciences Antares rocket at the Horizontal Integration Facility at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore, Tuesday, July 8, 2014. The Antares rocket is scheduled to roll-out to Virginia's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Pad 0A Wednesday, July 9, ahead of its scheduled launch July 11.
The Antares rocket will carry Orbital's unmanned Cygnus spacecraft to the International Space Station. This Orbital-2 mission's cargo is more than 3,000 pounds of supplies for the station, including science experiments to expand the research capability of the Expedition 40 crew members aboard the orbiting laboratory, crew provisions, spare parts and experiment hardware.
