Beta Scorpii is an attractive binary for small telescopes or large binoculars.

Beta is eight degrees northwest of Antares (just over one field of view). It forms a distinctive asterism with its neighbours: binoculars.

In the same field is nu Scorpii, a quadruple system suitable for medium sized scopes although large binoculars might show the two brightest members (4.4, 5.4).
