A Few Widefields from Last Night

[orion25]

It was an exceptionally clear night and I couldn't resist taking some shots in between observing (with no less than three telescopes, lol). I include captions and line drawings when necessary in some of the photos to facilitate seeing the form of the constellations.  Here we go!

Orion (Betelgeuse looks back to normal!):

 

Hyades, Venus and The Pleiades:

 

Auriga:

 

Gemini:

I like the idea of the wide field images of the constellations along with the lines drawn on. I might have to have a go at getting a set of them myself.

Go for it, Chefgage. It's fun to trace out the stick figures on the sky
