Out for a brief, brisk walk (it’s down to about 47ºF at the moment) and I see that Orion is high. The owls are hooting and singing.
Not bad for a handheld picture with an iPhone 13, Los Angeles’ normal light pollution, and a freakishly bright streetlight just off to the right.
Orion is on its side just to the right of center, between the power lines. The really bright star near the top just left of center is Jupiter, and at the very top edge just right of center, that “V” shape pointing to the upper right is Taurus. The bright object in the lower left, just above the bottom wire, is Mars.
The biggest disappointment in this image is how everything looks so WHITE. Mars actually looks quite red, and there is also a lot of color in the stars of Orion and Taurus. Betelgeuse and Aldebaran are red giants and you can see that color with the naked eye.
Go look!
