Shot from home in Alberta on November 21, 2019.13900215 - The Andromeda Galaxy (aka Messier 31) and the stars of Andromeda rising over moonlit formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. Illumination is from the waxing gibbous Moon, low in the southwest so it is providing a warm light. This is an example of a "deepscape" - a nightcape with a telephoto lens to also record a deep-sky object in the frame above the horizon. However, moonlight prevents the galaxy from showing up as well as it would in a dark sky.13898337 - This is the rich region in the centre of the constellation of Auriga with the Flaming Star Nebula, IC 405 at right, and the roundish IC 410 at bottom with the cluster NGC 1893.

The large nebula at bottom right is NGC 1499,the California Nebula. The grouping of blue stars at upper right is the Perseus OB Association,aka Melotte 20. Mars is at lower left in Taurus,where it was on March 17,2023.13848801 - Hvar Town at sunset taken from the Spanish Fort, Hvar Island, Croatia, Europe. This photo of Hvar Town and Harbor was taken at sunset from the Spanish Fort, aka Fortica or Hvar Spanish Fortress.

They were 22 arc minutes apart this evening. The 1-day-old waxing crescent Moon is below the planet pair deep in the twilight. The magnitude 2.8 star Deneb Algiedi,aka Delta Capricorni,is faintly visible below Venus. Venus was magnitude -3.9 while Saturn was magnitude 0.8.13998387 - Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) on the night of January 22/23,2023 when it was in Draco,with it near the reddish star Edasich (aka Iota Draconis) at top,and the edge-on galaxy NGC 5907 below the comet. To the right of that galaxy is NGC 5866,aka M102. The dust tail of the comet was showing a strong anti-tail spike ahead of the comet's greenish coma,as this was two days before we crossed the plane of the comet's orbit when we would see its dust tail "edge-on." The coma of the comet is strongly cyan or green from glowing diatomic carbon molecules,common for comets.
