Dawn alignment of the crescent Moon and 3 planets as seen from the Northern Panamint Range in Death Valley National Park. Above the Moon we have Venus; Mars is barely visible slightly above Venus, Jupiter at top. The lighter area in the notch of the closer mountains is the valley floor just north of Furnace Creek.

Southeast of Waterville on a commanding hill stand four monument stones. They extend in a line for 30 feet, with some being up to ten feet in height. There is evidence of a complex structure with remnants of an enclosure or cairn base on the south side. A megalithic tomb also appears to have been adjoined to the monument stone alignment at one time. Local legend refers to the site as the grave of Amergin's wife. Amergin was the chief of the infamous Milesian invaders who arrived in Ireland in 1700 BC.

Orange Grove Road, Orange County, NC.
I had stopped at a favorite spot at sunset and was busy shooting when an old farmer who lived across the road came over to chat. So, while I may have missed several other opportunities, I had a real nice chat with Felton, who had lived in this spot for about 55 years I think. When finally we parted, I saw this nice glow up on the horizon and so remained to see if something could be made of it. Only noticed Venus with the long lens I was shooting, and then saw some interesting silhouetted shapes below. Never know what you might see until you get out there.

Members of the unit are selected for a two-year tour, performing for large audiences and influential individuals to include the President of the United States. The platoon is based out of Marine Barracks Washington, D.C.

HBW everyone. Digging a photo out of my archives.
Thank you for your patience while I've busy with work and the recurrence of this inner ear infection which has kept me away from Flickr. I've stopped in briefly to look at some photos and will begin catching up with all of you over the course of the week.
I hope you are all doing well.

So scanning these pictures really kills the quality. Especially this one. The original looked much better.
A 300º panorama of the evening sky on January 18, 2025, with the array of 4 naked eye planets across the sky, from R to L:
- Bright Venus in the southwest in Aquarius ...
- With much dimmer Saturn just below it (the two planets were nearly at the closest approach this night),
- Bright Jupiter, left of centre at top in Taurus near Aldebaran and above Orion
- Bright reddish Mars at left below Castor and Pollux in Gemini. Mars was just past its biennial opposition point this night so was nearly at its brightest.
During some of the segments, the Space Station photobombed the scene, rising out of the southwest and traveling right to left (west to east) creating the streak above Venus and Saturn.
At far left and due north are the stars of the Big Dipper. North is at far left, east is toward Mars, south is at centre, and west is at far right.
Technical:
This is a panorama of 9 segments, each 20 seconds at f/2.8 with the Viltrox 16mm lens on the Nikon Z6III at ISO 800 and in landscape orientation. No tracking was used here, so the stars are trailed. Stitched in PTGui.
It was a chilly -25° C this night with a brisk and cold wind.
180 degrees panorama of the alignment of the planets at my preferred Deep Sky Object imaging site (SDAA site, Tierra del Sol). Photos taken 5:40am on Fev 7th, 2016. Just missed Mercury (below my visible horizon at the time).
Camera: Canon 6D
Lens: Samyang 14mm f/2.8 (at f/2.8)
Exposure: 15sec ISO6400 (each photo of the Panorama)
Panorama assembled in Lightroom
The Moon aligned with Venus and Mercury after sunset, March 18, 2018. Venus is the brighter planet in the center, Mercury to the upper right. The moon is about 34 hours past new, a very thin crescent.
