Description

Nice Spring trio sets in the western sky at dusk. M44, the Beehive Cluster in Cancer appears upper left, the twins, Castor and Pollux split the phone tower, while Auriga, the Charioteer continues the descent lower right.

The image was shot in a single light frames with a Canon 18-55mm kit lens at 18mm mounted on a Canon 70D and AstroTrac TT320AG for 39sec, at f/4 and ISO 800. Wind conditions were unfavorable so stacking and calibration not done.
