Night Sky Photography -- 03-18-2024 -- The Winter Triangle Constellations & Major Stars Before Spring

Last night about 50 minutes after sunset the sky was really clear and so I was able to take this really beautifully clear photo of every major star of the Constellations Orion, Canis Major (The Greater Dog), and Canis Minor (The Lesser Dog) as well as the nearby Constellation Taurus The Bull and its two largest stars: Aldebaran and Elnath.



Very soon we'll be saying goodbye to these constellations -- at least for a few months -- as they will begin to move lower towards the setting sun during the coming spring months here in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring here officially begins on Tuesday, March 19th.
