Description

Images captured from my backyard on the western shoulder of the Beaver Valley in southern Ontario, Canada.  This duo was featured in a book I am reading by John Read (110 Things To See With A Telescope), and as it happens, was ideally located in the night sky for this location for capturing light frames just after the meridian when the sky was darkening as the moon was setting.  Hope you can enjoy the sight too from wherever you are.
