Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "From Auriga to Orion." I think we can call this a target-rich environment. Mouse over the image to see the different stars and nebulas annotated in the constellations Auriga (the Charioteer), Gemini (the Twins), and Orion (the Hunter). If you are on Facebook, today's APOD contributor has a number of photos you might enjoy flipping through as you work on your next cup of coffee. Some good work here.

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Collage Picture of the Day (ACPOD) is titled "From Auriga to Orion."
Nothing like a spliced together family picture - in this case a wonderful image of many star formations scattered across the heavens.
The heavens declare the glory of God for those with eyes to see.

APOD Background
"Explanation: What's up in the sky from Auriga to Orion? Many of the famous stars and nebulas in this region were captured on 34 separate images, taking over 430 hours of exposure, and digitally combined to reveal the featured image. Starting on the far upper left, toward the constellation of Auriga (the Chariot driver), is the picturesque Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405). Continuing down along the bright arc of our Milky Way Galaxy, from left to right crossing the constellations of the Twins and the Bull, notable appearing nebulas include the Tadpole, Simeis 147, Monkey Head, Jellyfish, Cone and Rosette nebulas. In the upper right quadrant of the image, toward the constellation of Orion (the hunter), you can see Sh2-264, the half-circle of Barnard's Loop, and the Horsehead and Orion nebulas. Famous stars in and around Orion include, from left to right, orange Betelgeuse (just right of the image center), blue Bellatrix (just above it), the Orion belt stars of Mintaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak, while bright Rigel appears on the far upper right. This stretch of sky won't be remaining up in the night very long -- it will be setting continually earlier in the evening as mid-year approaches."
