Not Dark Skies

As you can see, I don't have dark skies from my backyard.
I looked for Comet Lovejoy but was not able to locate it so I settled for Orion instead.
The only time the skies are clear is when the temperature drops to single digits
and boy was it cold standing out there tonight.

Nicely done, Patti.
Excellent sharpness with the 18-70. *V*

Noble suffering for the sake of art.
I wonder how long was the exposure - for the shot and for you?

You're braver than I am...nice job!

Nice capture of Orion. Lovejoy was much, much further up and slightly to the left of Betelgeuse on this particular evening.

Looks like a clear night and you can easily spot Rigel and Betelgeuse from their colors.

Great night sighting, Patti!

It's good to have Orion back. I miss him in the warmer months. V
