The stars of the northern winter sky rising at dawn on the morning of August 14, 2020, from home in southern Alberta.

The waning crescent Moon is overexposed here, shining above bright Venus , then in southern Gemini as a bright “morning star” in the east. Mars is also bright and reddish, to the south at far right. Orion is rising over the ripening wheatfield at centre. Above Orion is Taurus with the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters. The bright star to the left and above the Moon is Capella in Auriga. Castor and Pollux are rising at left. A flaring satellite trail appears below Venus.

This is a two-segment panorama with the 14mm Sigma Art lens at f/2.5 and Nikon D750 at ISO 800 for 20 seconds each. Stitched with PTGui which erases all the metadata from the image. I added a mild Orton Glow effect with Luminar Flex.
