The complex region of NGC 6231 in the tail of Scorpius.

The complex region of NGC 6231 in the tail of Scorpius, with the brightest star cluster at lower right being NGC 6231 itself while the cluster at centre is NGC 6242. The nebula is IC 4628. The pair of bright stars at top are Mu 1 and 2 Scorpii. The colorful double star at bottom is Zeta 1 and 2 Scorpii. To the naked eye this area appears elongated and fuzzy, like a comet. It was mistaken for Comet Halley in 1986.
