The winter sky with Orion setting into the west in the evening twilight on April 2, 2018. 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.

This is a composite of a single 25-second untracked exposure for the sky, and a stack of 8 x 25-second exposures for the ground, averaged in-camera using the Canon 6D MkII Multiple Exposure Average function. This smooths noise. All at f/2.8 with the Rokinon SP lens and Canon 8D MkII at ISO 1600.
