A panorama of the array of planets across the evening sky on November 20, 2020, with the waxing crescent Moon between the close pairing of Jupiter and Saturn in the southwest at right and Mars in the southeast at left. Uranus also just shows up, but not Neptune as it was too faint to record in the twilight. This is a 5-section panorama with the 20mm Sigma Art lens at Nikon D750, stitched with Adobe Camera Raw. All 10 seconds at ISO 100 and f/2.8. Taken from home in southern Alberta.

Uranus also just shows up, but not Neptune as it was too faint to record in the twilight. In this version I have added the labels and the constellation lines for the autumn constellations (which are patterns mostly associated with water), and the ecliptic line.

The Pleiades and constellation of Perseus rising above the mountains at Waterton Lakes National Park, Aug 31, 2013. Capella is the bright star just over the ridge line. M33, M34, the Double Cluster are also visible at right. And the California Nebula, NCG 1499, below. A faint aurora adds the green and magenta tints. This is a stack of 4 x 3 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600.
