View Over My House At Night

Tonight is was clear and still warm (it was 62F (~17C) today!) so while I waited to see if I will go out and try to photograph the auroras that have been present recently, I decided to capture some of the sky as seen from my backyard.
This is Orion and just below the stars in the belt you can see the Orion Nebula. The "glow" is because of all the artificial lighting (street lights, business lights, parking lot lights, etc) that is present near where I live.

A nice night view of Orion. Aldebaran is also clearly visible in the top right corner.

A fine shot of this vast constellation, Patti.

Very nicely taken Patti...

Nicely done, but I can't wait for Orion to disappear from the night sky. I want to see summer constellations.

Well done, Patti. The night sky is a never-ending wonder.

Always a sight to behold. The CME for March 11th is delayed and more are on the way. Hopefully there will be some clear nights as auroras are in the forecast for the next couple of nights :)

This is very inspiring! Well done.
