As for the photos themselves, all were taken with the Nikon D700 with about 10 seconds exposure time ona fixed tripod. ISO ranged from 800-1600 for most images. Some of the shots have been cropped, too.

Canis Major

The Little Dipper
Moon and Venus
Orion (duh!)
The Pleiades (7 Sisters)

And now, for some event shots. . .
The "Supermoon" of March. Nikon D700 with 80-400 Tokina lens at 400mm. Now, all I need to do is shoot a Full Moon near apogee.
The Equinox sunrise. It's been a couple of years since I did a sunrise composite, so I thought I'd try another one this year. Here's the firsst leg of that endeavor.
Humble requests:
