Waiting for new pics!

I was out with the dog the other day in the early morning and saw something not far from the heads of Gemini (Pollux specifically). Checking Stellarium, it's the Beehive cluster. I'm always surprised at what you can see in relatively dark skies, even without binoculars or a telescope. I spent a couple of weeks in the burbs a few weeks back and couldn't see squat when I'd look up. It was pretty sad.
