The constellations of Leo and Hydra rising in the east on a mid-December night from southern Arizona at about midnight. Leo is partly risen at left and Hydra at right with the head of Hydra at top right. At top centre is the Beehive Cluster, M44, and small M67 below it, both in Cancer. The cluster at far right is M48. Regulus is at lower left and the bright star at lower right in Alphard in Hydra.

This is a stack of 5 x 2 minute exposures at f/2.5 with the 35mm lens and Canon 5DMkII at ISO 1600, plus a sixth frame shot thru the Kenko Softon filter for the star glows. Shot for use in SkyNews as an illustration.
