Taken with a mid-range digital camera on a tripod - while I was visually cluster-hunting with a Celestron C8-SCT telescope.
Moon and Mars - With the Gemini twins, Castor and Pollux above.
Hyades star cluster in Taurus - including the enormous Red Giant star Aldebaran, and double-star Theta Tauri (a.k.a. OΣΣ-10)
Pleiades star cluster (the Seven Sisters) in Taurus - also known as 'Messier 45'
Note how the stars look like elongated blobs, instead of round - This is because they moved slowly during the 8 sec exposure, accentuated by using high 'zoom'
Widefield of the constellation 'Orion'
The stargazing season (Autumn through winter, into spring) has finally begun 'in-proper' when the whole of the mighty hunter is up in the sky before 4am
