Three planets and winter constellations in the morning sky of late August.
See the second graphic for a finder chart from planetarium software. Mercury has just risen above the distant trees, Venus is higher, Jupiter is highest.
All your favorite bright winter constellations are in this wide angle shot.

The waning crescent moon next to the Beehive star cluster (M44 in Cancer) and the planet Mercury...low in morning twilight.
The cell phone shot is a wider angle and also captures the planets Jupiter and Venus as well as the constellation Gemini.

Three morning planets and the waning crescent moon in twilight.
Brilliant Venus is right of the moon. Jupiter is along the upper edge. Mercury is peeking from behind a cloud in the lower left corner.
The moon's earthshine stands out strongly because it's not yet bright twilight.
To the upper left of the moon are the bright stars Castor and Pollux of the constellation Gemini.
Compare to yesterday morning's photo:

Three planets and the waning crescent moon in the morning sky.
The three planets are in a straight line that's tilted from vertical a bit. (And this line roughly shows us the ecliptic.)
The highest planet is Jupiter, below and to the right of the moon.
Below Jupiter, and brightest of the three planets, is Venus.
At the bottom, nestled next to a cloud wisp, is Mercury.
Left of Jupiter and Venus, near the edge of the frame, are the stars Castor and Pollux of the constellation Gemini.

The planets orbit the sun on a plane we call the #ecliptic, so they are always roughly in a line. It's just that some planets are usually in the evening sky, while others are in the morning sky, and still others might be too close to the sun to see. Plus, Uranus and Neptune require optical aid to spot. But in January, all the planets but Mercury will be in the evening sky soon after dark.

For the #Spacetober prompt star or globular cluster it’s my linocut of the Taurus constellation. The most prominent open clusters are the Pleiades and Hyades in Taurus, visible to the naked eye and known since antiquity (head and shoulder of the bull). The two clusters are unrelated despite proximity in our sky but together they form the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic. 🧵1/2

The standard reference frame for the #sun's apparent movement across the sky is called the #ecliptic; this is the apparent path from one northward #equinox to the next.
By convention, the northward equinox is considered to like it 0° of the ecliptic, the northern #solstice at 90°, the southward equinox at 180°, and the southern solstice at 270°.

All this time I thought that the sun's angular velocity along the epicycle was measured relative to a line from Earth the the sun's apogee (taking the anomalistic orbit as the reference frame, rather than the #zodiac or the #ecliptic), but it turns out it's actually measured relative to a line joining the centre of Earth to the centre of the sun.

Right then. So take stock time in my planning for tomorrow...
#Weather looks good, if a bit windy.
#Moon is pretty bright, but stays to the east until well after midnight.
I have a list of #constellations to focus on & a line up of planets to work through.
So initial plan is to start by sweeping East along the #ecliptic to bag the planets, then go back to look at some deep sky & then finally finish with the moon.
Next it is time to hit the books and more detailed star charts
