The Dog Went Over the Mountain
Canis Major viewed above the Eastern Sierra from Lone Pine, CA on 2022-03-12. Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is just right of center. Below center is the star cluster M41.
There was a waxing gibbous moon illuminating the mountains, and I wasn't using any kind of tracker with the camera. Just keeping the shutter open on a Nikon D5100 for 13 s at a time to see what I could get from the stars.
