Leo the Lion and Coma Berenices, May 2018

Above Leo and to the left you can see Coma Berenices. It sort of blends in with the other fainter stars directly above Leo.

If you look closely above and to the left of the Moon, you can see stars. They were not visible to me at the time I took this picture.

Despite the unseasonably cold chill (the reason I have not posted anything for several weeks), I set up my camera to take this photograph.

The beaming Moon, contrasted to the blurry haze of last night’s, was too tempting a target not to get my camera and tripod out.

Auriga is in an interesting part of the sky for another reason, as the boundary between the surrounding star activity.

With an excellent view towards the Western horizon on Sunday night, Venus and Mercury were easy to see.
