A horizon-to-zenith panorama of the winter consellations on a March evening as they set into the southwest. Orion is at bottom centre, with his Belt pointing down to Canis Major and up to Taurus. Gemini and Auriga are at top, in this case near the zenith overhead. The bright star clusters, M44, the Beehive, (at left) and M45, the Pleiades, (at right) flank the Milky Way. M45 is embedded in the Zodiacal Light. The star clusters M35 in Gemini and M41 in Canis Major are also visible as diffuse spots, as are several other star clusters. A couple of satellite trails are visible.

The southern Milky Way from Canis Major to Carina, including Puppis and Vela and the large Gum Nebula complex, an interstellar bubble blown by stellar winds. Sirius at at right and Canopus at lower left. The open cluster NGC 251t6 is at far left. M41 cluster is left of Sirius.

Orion and the Winter Triangle stars, Sirius, Procyon and Betelgeuse, taken from the Painted Pony Resort in New Mexico, March 13, 2013. A stack of 5 x 8 minute exposures at f/4 with the 35mm Canon lens and 5D MkII at ISO 800, plus a layer of 2 x 8 minutes with the Kenko Softon filter for the star glows. M50, M46, M47 and M41 clusters all visible at left.

The constellation of Canis Major, including the bright star Sirius, and below it, the open cluster M41. At bottom is the loose cluster/asterism CR 140. This is a stack of 6 x 4 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the Sigma 50mm lens and Canon 60Da at ISO 800. I shot this from Coonabarabran, Australia with the constellation straight overhead. I used the iOptron Sky Tracker. High cloud added the natural glows around stars - no filter was employed here.

Orion, Canis Major & Monoceros, taken from the Painted Pony Resort in New Mexico, March 14, 2013. A stack of 5 x 6 minute exposures at f/3.2 with the 35mm Canon L-series lens and 5D MkII at ISO 800, plus a layer of 2 x 4 minutes with the Kenko Softon filter for the star glows. M46, M47 and M41 clusters all visible at left and lower centre.
