The winter sky with Orion setting into the west in the evening twilight, Alberta, Canada.


April 2, 2018 - The winter sky with Orion setting into the west in the evening twilight. The wide view takes in all the winter constellations of the northern sky, from Canis Major at lower left to Auriga and Perseus at upper right. Orion is at centre with his Belt pointing down to Sirius and up to Aldebaran in Taurus with the Pleiades. Procyon and Pollux and Castor are at upper left. There was a lot of snow on the ground this year in early April. This looks more like a winter scene than spring.
