The brightest star in the constellation Scorpius (7)

I believe the answer is:

antares

(Other definitions for antares that I've seen before include "Star reddened" , "brilliant point" , "Red supergiant star in Scorpio; nae star (anag.)" , "RS [RED STAR]" , "Red supergiant star in Scorpius" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
