a binary star 3° northwest of Antares, consisting of blue components of 5.3mag and 6mag brightness at a distance of 3.1" (4.59mag). The area around them is of interest to photographers. To the west is the elongated dark Barnard 42 nebula, which appears silhouetted against the beautiful gas-dust complex IC 4604 , which is just irradiated by the star ρ Ophiuchi. However, the nebula has a very faint areal brightness.
