Clear, cold, and humid this morning. The sky was clear and black, the stars beautiful. The seasons seem to be just flying by – Orion is now high in the early morning sky, the Pleiades almost straight overhead. Jupiter is low in the south, Aldebaran high, and Sirius is well above the eastern horizon. The Big Dipper is starting to show up east of the North Star. Seems like this “picture” jumped 30° in just the last few days...
Lots of coyotes were audible this morning, at least one band quite close by. The dogs all ignored them. Race was focused on his pine cone, as usual; the field spaniels on their important and urgent sniffing.
Daylight saving time ends in a month, which will make the sky picture jump again for me, by 15°. I hate it when that happens...
