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.

A wide-angle view from horizon to past the zenith 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 at top. Corvus is at bottom. In the centre is the Coma Berenices star cluster, aka Mel111.
The winter sky from home, at latitude 50° N, on a hazy night which added the star glows and the colours to the sky at right from incoming cloud from the west. This is a stack of 5 x 4 minute exposures with the 15mm lens at f/3.5 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. On the iOptron SkyTracker. Taken Feb 10, 2013. Jupiter is the bright object above centre.

The winter constellations of the northern hemisphere sky, rising on a January night, from Canada, above a snowy prairie landscape. Sirius is just rising in the horizon glow. The scene extends up to Capella in Auriga near the zenith at top. Jupiter is the bright object above centre in Taurus.

Taken from home on January 6, 2013, with the modified Canon 5D Mark II at ISO 800 and 15mm Canon lens at f/2.8, for a stack of 3 x 4 minute exposures. The landscape is from just one frame, to avoid blurring of the horizon. Light polluted haze moving in from the right, west.
