Orion and Venus Setting at Monument Valley

A panorama of the winter sky setting in the evening over the Tear Drop Arch Mesa at Monument Valley, Utah on April 3, 2015. Illumination is from the Full Moon, about to be eclipsed in a few hours at dawn. At left is Sirius and Canis Major, at left of centre is Orion, at right of centre is Taurus and at right is the Pleiades and Venus. This is a two-panel stitch of exposures with the 24mm lens and Canon 6D, each 15 seconds at f/3.5 at ISO 800, untracked.
