Three Images from Saturday Morning

I tried some imaging on Friday night but the haze and consequent LP was just too much for anything meaningful to be captured - not even the NAN shone through, so I gave up and went to bed, got up just after 0530 BST Saturday morning when there was still a little darkness left and generally better clarity though still a lot of high level cloud about.

So here's Orion. Not a very deep image (no Flame or Horsehead) but note colour and detail in M42.



And M45 and the Hyades.



And towards the oncoming dawn, here, from the right, Venus, Regulus and Saturn! Is this the first glimpse of Saturn from Ireland this time around?
