Equipment:

Pentax DL2 with 18 mm lens, f/3.5, 15 sec., ISO 800

Description:

Last week's 'Sky at a Glance' mentioned Venus, Saturn and Regulus together in the early morning. By coincidence I was attempting to observe the zodiacal light and captured them along with an Orionid meteor (upper right, traveling towards the left) and the light pyramid that appears about 1/2 hour before morning twilight. The enlargement around the meteor also reveals the M44 "Beehive" open cluster in Cancer.
