Thank you.

I haven’t seen Orion this winter. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong part of the sky for this winter constellation?

I have met the photographer, Wally Pacholka, on several occasions and even gave him tips on good places to go in the wilderness of the Eastern Sierra of California to get shots like this. He is a real pioneer in this type of night photography.

I believe you can make out at least one of Jupiter’s moons. (the orange/reddish looking object to the right of it)

I always wanted to spend a winter night at Yellowstone. Old Faithful.
