Moon with Antares, Mars & Saturn over Bow River

The waxing crescent Moon shines over the Bow River, accompanied by Saturn (just right of centre) and the pairing of Mars (at left, top) and Antares, the rival of Mars in Scorpius (at left, bottom). Other stars in the head of Scorpius lie just to the left of the Moon. I shot this September 28, 2014 from the grounds of Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park, south of Cluny, Alberta on the Siksika First Nations reserve.

This is one frame from a 270-frame time-lapse sequence, taken on Auto Exposure with the Canon 6D and 50mm Sigma lens at f/4. This frame is 15 seconds at ISO 400.
