I've been enjoying seeing it again on clear nights above my house when I take our dog out before going to bed.
The attached photo of Orion was captured from my backyard January 2023. Was honored to have it featured as the cover photo on my local astronomy club's 2024 calendar.

Story behind this photo: was in living room & heard something hit glass patio door. Investigated & it appeared some furry or feathered friend had hit it. Soon found this owl walking around back yard. When it became aware of me it flew to this tree & let me take some photos. #photography #birds

Another January 2023 capture from my backyard, this one featured on the cover of my local astronomy club's 2024 calendar. Messier 42, the Orion Nebula. Monochrome camera with red, blue, green, and Ha filters.
First deep space object I observed through my first 'real' telescope about 25 years ago.

One of a pair of hawks that took up residence in a tree in my front yard. You can see that it's carrying pine needles in its claws.
