Goodbye Saturn, Mars and the Bees in the trees

[qcdougn]

Maybe I posted these before :?...But, here are two pics of Saturn and Mars (and M44 - Beehive Cluster) as they left the western sky on 6-16-06. The photos were taken appox. 10 minutes apart...I got the bees in the trees in one, and the ISS in the other.

Taken on a tripod with the Canon XT and 50mm- f1.8 lens- set at approx. f 4.0 and 4 sec. exposures.

* Saturn on left, Mars in Middle and M44 Beehive on Right (The star below Saturn is (Asellus Austrailis in Cancer).
