Night Sky Photography -- 04-19-2021 -- The Moon & The Twins; Mars Between The Bull's Horns; Orion & His Dogs

Good evening fellow stargazers!

This evening was a beautiful, clear evening for viewing the stars after sunset in the western sky. The
beautiful,  crescent moon could be seen overhead alongside Pollux and Castor, the two brightest stars in the Constellation Gemini The Twins.



Thanks to the clear springtime evening sky, I was also able to capture just about all of the brightest stars of all the constellations that make up the Winter Hexagon asterism. The planet Mars can also still be seen in the Constellation Taurus The Bull between the stars Tau Zeta and Elnath -- the bull's horns.

Among the photos I was able to capture a beautiful shot of the Constellation Orion The Hunger and both of his dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor.

I labeled all of the evening skies brightest stars, their constellations, and the Winter Triangle and Winter Hexagon asterisms.

The following are the photos I took.




So I hope y'all enjoyed my evening offerings and as always have a good evening and keep your eyes to the night skies, y'all.
