Hi all,
I don't observe delta sco, but i notice now, close to the moon, that it looks definitely brighter than antares.
Does that happen often, in recent years?

I wonder if you
Hi Alan,
I wonder if you might have mistaken Saturn for Delta Scorpii, as I briefly did last night? Saturn is a degree or two from Delta Scorpii at the moment.

I think Carey is right.
I follow the three objects (yes, I make estimates of Saturn! ;)) and they are as follows:
Saturn: 0.3 V
Antares: 1.0 V
Delta Sco: 1.7 V
Delta Sco is very bright this season and rather stable for the last couple of months but definitely not brighter than Antares.
Cheers,
Sebastian
Of course. Thanks
