The large Hyades star cluster, at right, plus orange Aldebaran, and the smaller star cluster NGC 1647 at left, in Taurus, and in the moonlight of a first quarter Moon, January 2, 2020. Thus the blue sky.

This is a stack of eleven 2-minute exposures with the 200mm Canon lens at f/2.8 and Canon EOS Ra camera at ISO 400, with one of the exposures taken with haze in the sky to add the natural star glows. No filter was used here. The camera was on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer tracker. Diffraction spikes added for aesthetic effect with Astronomy Tools Actions.
