A wide-angle view, in landscape format, of the northern hemisphere spring sky, taken early May 2013 from home, using 15mm Canon lens at f/3.2, and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600 for stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures, tracked. The ground is from one exposure. Leo and Regulus are at right, Arcturus at left, and Spica and Saturn at lower left. The Big Dipper is off the frame at top. The Gegenschein is visible at right and the Zodiacal Band cross the sky from upper right to lower left. Saturn is to the left of Spica at bottom.

The Gegenschein glow at lower left, in southern Leo, taken at the Painted Pony Resort in southwest New Mexico, March 14, 2013. This is a stack of 5 x 6 minute exposures at f/3.2 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 plus a layer of two exposures taken through the Softon filter for the star glows. M44 the Beehive in Cancer is at upper right, the Coma Berenices star cluster, Mel 111, is at upper left. The stars of Leo are above centre. The streak is from geotationary satellites flaring in brightness near the oppostion point, but not moving as the sky turned.
The Gegenschein in the springtime evening sky from the northern hemisphere, from New Mexico, March 2013. It is the glow left of centre in southern Leo, and is sunlight reflected off comet and meteoric dust in the inner solar system but outside Earth's orbit. This is a stack of 5 x 5 minute tracked exposures with the Samyang 14mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. trails from flaring geostationary satellites are below the Gegenschein, near the opposition point.

The northern winter sky in a 360° fish-eye view from my backyard, Feb. 7, 2013, on a partly hazy night with some clouds reflecting light pollution from sodium vapour highway and street lights. This is a stack of 8 x 4 minute exposures but the foreground is from just one exposure. All with the 8mm Sigma fish-eye lens at f/4 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Jupiter is the brightest object. The Zodiacal Light reaches up from the west at right and goes across the sky to form the Gegenschein, a subtle bright patch below centre at left in Cancer and Leo. A telescope taking close up shots of Orion is silhouetted against the distant sky glow at right.
