Night Sky

As summer begins to close this is one of the last opportunities to observe Saturn, Mars and Antares line-up nearly vertical in the south, southwest sky.

I took the girls out just before 9 PM to listen to the local coyote chorus before bedtime and snapped this shot with an ordinary iPhone.  

A nice breeze kept the skeeters mostly at bay.

Saturn is upper right, Mars is lower center and Antares below Mars and slightly to the left.
