Above Orion is Aldebaran and the Hyades star cluster in Taurus. Below Orion is Sirius in Canis Major. The red giant Betelgeuse and the blue giant Rigel stand out nicely above and below the Belt. Light from the first quarter Moon off frame illuminates the landscape. This serves as a good illustration of how the Belt stars in Orion point up to Aldebaran and down to Sirius.13999326 - Eroded sandstone formations in Arch Canyon below the Arch Canyon Overlook. Shash Jaa Unit,Bears Ears National Monument,Utah.13999319 - This is the Perseid meteor shower over the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,in the Red Deer River valley in Alberta,with the summer sky above filled with about two dozen meteors from the annual shower on August 12,2023. The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at left,below the "W" of Cassiopeia. The meteor trails are shortest near the radiant point,as at that location they are coming at us head on. The Andromeda Galaxy is near centre.13999304 - This is a framing of an array of emission nebulas in Cygnus: the bright North America Nebula (NGC 7000) at right,and to the right of it,the Pelican Nebula (IC 5067/8). Those bright nebulas are set amid a complex of fainter nebulosity,notably the Clamshell Nebula at left,as it has become known recently,and catalogued as Sharpless 2-119. At bottom right is the curving Cygnus Arc,aka IC 5068. The small star cluster NGC 7044,yellowed by interstellar dust,is below the Clamshell. The nebulas are marked by lots of structure and radial streaks,perhaps from magnetic fields.13999258 - The open star cluster NGC 1528,at left,accompanied by the emission nebula NGC 1491,at right,aka the Fossil Footprint Nebula,both in Perseus. The very red star below NGC 1528 is SY Persei. The faint nebula at centre is unidentified – the nebulas Sharpless 2-209 and Sharpless 2-206 are in the area but their positions on the TriAtlas do not coincide with the nebula recorded here. Nor is it marked on any other atlas I was able to check. But the TriAtlas might plot the Sharpless nebulas incorrectly. But photos on-line label this object as Sh2-209. The bright star at bottom right is Lambda Persei.13998959 - The sparkling winter stars and constellations over the moonlit badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,Alberta on Feb. 4,2023. The waxing gibbous Moon is off frame at left providing the illumination on this very clear and mild night.

The stars ar13998662 - A selfie of me observing Mars,the bright reddish star at top,from home on January 4,2023,with Mars then still bright a month after opposition. The waxing gibbous Moon is the bright object at left. The Pleiades are above Mars; the Hyades and Aldebaran are below Mars. Orion and Sirius are rising in the background below. The telescope is the Starfield Optics Gear115 on the Astro-Physics Mach1 mount.13998632 - Mars,the bright orange object right of centre,is here amid the stars and constellations of the winter Milky Way in January 2023. Mars is in Taurus,above Aldebaran and the Hyades,and below the blue Pleiades. The stars of Auriga are at left. At top are stars in Perseus,including the reddish California Nebula. The interstellar Dark Clouds of Taurus are at centre.13998604 - The conjunction of the waxing 4-day-old crescent Moon below the Pleiades,and set in a slightly hazy sky on March 25,2023. The haze adds the colourful "lunar corona" halo around the bright crescent of the Moon from diffraction effects in the high icy clouds. Shot before the sky got dark,the remaining twilight adds the blue to the background sky. Earthshine is visible on the dark side of the Moon.13998546 - A framing of the converging rays of aurora overhead at the magnetic zenith,a little south of the true zenith at 90° altitude. This was the superb Kp6 to 7 display on March 23,2023,with the aurora in a pulsating mode rather than forming rippling curtains. Leo is below the convergence point. At this time later in the display the rays showed a lot of red as well as green. A short exposure helped freeze the rapid pulsations and capture the structure.13998490 - A framing of the northern winter sky constellations of Gemini (left),Auriga (top) and Taurus (bottom right). The Messier star clusters M35 in Gemini,and the trio of M36,M37 and M38 in Auriga show up well. The large nebula at upper right is NGC 1499,the California Nebula in Perseus. The Flaming Star,IC 405,and other IC nebulas in Auriga are right of centre. The small round nebula at bottom is IC 2174 in northern Orion. The dark lanes of the Taurus Dark Molecular Clouds are right of centre.
