When the Scorpius has the meridian transit, the summer's Milky Way ascends in east of the constellation slightly leaned. We can see striking dark lanes stretched from the Milky Way towards Antares. It was fairly good transparency condition, this image can show us indistinct mesh-like dark lanes spread around southern region of Scorpius.
